Math font that works with mathmagic

Hello.

I'm new to InDesign and i try to use to write a scientific book that has a lot of equations and math formulas. 

 

I see a book that was written with InDesign i asked the author about which plugins he used to wrote it , he responded saying that he used mathmagic.

 

I purchased mathmagic add it to InDesign but my equations look very ugly, i tried to change font but tha mathmagic keeps saying that he didn't find the postscript for the font .... i can only use tha mathmagic fonts and all if them produce a very ugly equations .

 

But in the book i mentioned earlier the equations look very good.

 

My question is which font they are using based on the screenshot i linked to my post?.  and what is the best practice to use InDesign with mathmagic?.

 

Thanks in advance

You should get in touch with the people who sell mathmagic, they'll tell you how to configure fonts in mathmagic.

MathType is much better - but only available on Windows.

mathtype does not work in indesign. It works from outside. After equations in Indesign there is an alignment issue with the baseline.

The same - or worse - is with MathMagic. 

 

MathType at least converts equations from WORD much better than MM.
