There is a good case for using MathML for displaying the expressions. When
this is straightforward to do from a technical point of view (i.e. being
able to embed a MathML widget in the app) then it may well be worth
investing a bit of time in producing a function to convert the internal
parse tree into a MathML 'formula'. Until then I have to do the expression
rendering manually. Let's just say that, as you already know, this is an
'interesting' problem, particularly when you don't control the font being
used.
