I've just visited the page of TeXmacs.  I didn't know about
such a project.  With some extension, the current display
engine of Emacs will have a facility to display a fairly
complex formula if there exist sufficient fonts.  But, it
doesn't mean that we can provide a real wysiwyg facility.
Current Emacs doesn't have a way to print the buffer
contents as is.

Perhaps, the current TeX/LaTeX mode can be enhanced so that,
upon users request, it displays mathmatical part as
something like a printed image.  But still, we can't
simularte, text fonts, the line spacing, line breaking of
TeX.
