Let me understand your (and Nick) proposal with the $$.
Are you proposing that all TLatex strings systematically should be surrounded
by $ ?
if yes, this cannot be backward compatible. I am not sure that the majority
will agree.
if no, how to you switch between the two states ?
Since \ is unpractical with C++, would you be happy with #. #, #; #! ?
I did not look yet at possible side-effects.

I have to investigate this. I had already similar requests. The difficulty
is in finding the right fonts that are OK on the screen (Unix, NT)
and with PostScript.
