mathtext doesn't currently support frac (but hopefully it will by the
end of the summer as we have a google summer-of-code student working
on mathtext). As Ryan noted, if you have access to TeX/LaTeX on your
system, you can use that to render your equations
Requirements:
tex
*Agg backends: dvipng
PS backend: latex w/ psfrag, dvips, and Ghostscript 8.51
(older versions do not work properly)
I think we can relax the ghostscript requirement to version 7.07 or later. I
worked through some issues a few months back, and my test script (which
produces three different sized plots for every combination of text.usetex and
ps.usedistiller settings) didnt indicate any problems using ESP Ghostscript
7.07.
