Hi,

a) you must change the fonts, because the Mathematica
   symbols are designed to fit to Times/Helvetica/Courier
   and not to Computer Modern ! Mixing Computer Modern
   and the Mathematica fonts look not very nice because
   Comuter Modern has smaler strokes. You need atleast
   wrisym.sty, i.e.
   \usepackage[monospacemath]{wrisym}

   but this will switch the main document font to
   Times and the mono-space font to courier.

   With Mathematica 4.2 you can use Adobe-Garamond
   and Janson as document fonts too, with
   \usepackage[monospacemath,garamond]{wrisym}
  
   but this are commercial fonts and you have to buy 
   it from Adobe.

b) If you like the narrow monotype fonts
   similar to Computer Modern you can use the
   CMTT fonts, now included in Mathematica 4.2
   Just use the package option
   \usepackage[cmtt]{wrisym}


c) I have a TeX frontend that use only the wrisym package
   and a preprocessor. It run fine with the most style files
   But you have to use "TeX notebooks" that are essential
   TeX files with mathinput environments. The TeX frontend
   send the contents of the mathinput environments to
   the kernel and paste the output into the final TeX file.
   It also does some fancy formating with the Mathematica input
   and replace -> with \Rule, :> with \RuleDelayed ..
   You can have the program and the style files if you like.

Regards
  Jens
