Maybe some work to make Maxima display much better

Instead of making the output of maxima run through
tex, why don't we change the output of the Maxima display
program to be whatever information is actually needed
to display.  I don't know if this is some kind of
unicode or postscript or some other format, but the
program that displays
        2
       x

can certainly learn to use different size fonts and
spaces.  Since the maxima program also presumable has
some environmental access it can tell how wide your display
is and such stuff.

Can someone tell me what is needed by emacs21?  Although
looking at http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/NEWS.21.1
I see that MS windows "does not yet implement various of the new
display features..."
which means to me, unfortnately, that anything that
depends on emacs21.1 display will not work on the most significant
part of the user community.
