For at least a equation editor component, this should be done in a two-way
conversation. I mean, the container should be able to tell the component
the fonts used in the document, then the component should be able to 
calculate its own size and ask to the container for it. Then the container
decides to give or not the requested size, much as GTK widgets work I
think.

This is my first post, so be kind with me if I misunderstood something.
