I would suggest doing it in tex and then converting it to pdf, which is quickly coming to be a standard for the web. There are at least two ways of doing tex --> pdf that cost no money. There is something called pdflatex.
Still beta I believe, but works well.
A second, not entirely satisfactory is to use the ability of gsview to output pdf files. You choose print to disk and then you get a pdf file that can be read with the Adobe reader.
Best results are obtained by using type 1 fonts and the most recent version of ghostscript, currently 5.97, or maybe 6. Another possibility, which I've found gives the best results, is to use a free program called dvipdfm: http://odo.kettering.edu/dvipdfm/ Bob T.
