		> to use a different program for turning equations to pixels? They explain in the comment why it was risky (new thing instead of tried and true methods, not a large user base, etc.) and yet you minimized their explanation, over simplified and seem to not understand the risk involved in writing one of the most important pieces of literature in one’s career. > why? they wont give you a phd if a single pixel is off by one bit in the alpha channel? They meant pixel perfect as in matching the template to infer the importance of this. Then for some reason you went down the “off by one bit in the alpha channel” which is a bit of wise-assery and not meaningful nor necessary to the conversation. As I said before, please dig deeper and use your well meaning System 2 to contribute, and not your Reddit-Tainted System 1.
