[texhax] Wikipedia to LaTeX Converter

[Dirk Hünniger]

Hi William,

sorry the information about miktex on the mediawiki2latex website is
outdated. The point is that the needed fonts are not installed on a
default miktex installation and a custom installation of miktex used to
ship with mediawiki2latex including the fonts in question.

If you want to compile on Windows you should follow the installation
instructions for Windows given on the mediawiki2latex website. After
that you can compile the sources created be mediawiki2latex inside the
Ubuntu app using the xelatex command in this app.

Yours Dirk
