What is an EQP file?
An EQP file is a preferences file used by Design Science MathType, a program for creating and editing mathematical equations. It contains settings specified by a user that configure how MathType operates, such as fonts, equation formatting, and layout preferences. MathType users save their preferences in the software as EQP files to preserve a working environment they have customized to reflect their needs and preferences, which they can open again to reload.
More Information
MathType is widely used in academic, scientific, and professional settings to generate complex equations for documents, presentations, and educational materials. Since there are many components in the MathType interface and a diverse user base, the software allows you to customize the environment to create a more efficient workflow based on your requirements and save your preferences as EQP files.
How to open an EQP file
You can open EQP files with Design Science MathType in Windows and macOS (Mojave 10.4 and earlier). To open an EQP file, select Preferences → Equation Preferences → Load from File.
Opening an EQP file with a text editor
Since EQP files are saved in plain text, you can also open them with a text editor. Some common options include Microsoft Notepad (Windows), Apple TextEdit (macOS), and gedit (Linux).
When opened in a text editor, you can modify the properties of the EQP file. However, incorrectly modifying the EQP file may corrupt it.
