document state of WSL support

pkra commented 5 months ago

Just a quick note that I tested texml on a recent windows 11 with the standard ubuntu WSL.

Installation went fine and processing seems to mostly work.

However, I'm running into svg-creation / xelatex problems again. I'll update the card as I move along.

SVG creation: xelatex cannot find STIX Two
- I downloaded the otf files and copied them as per https://gist.github.com/rajeshkumaravel/2795c341f4adf9daffb1791dd5bd3004
- sudo cp STIX* /usr/local/share/fonts/ && sudo fc-cache -fv
- sourcesanspro not found
  - workaround: adding something for math_sf_font in the cfg file

First issue is STIX Two not being around. Let's see how WSL does fonts.

This looks promising: https://gist.github.com/rajeshkumaravel/2795c341f4adf9daffb1791dd5bd3004

Ugh, now xelatex is complaining about source sans pro missing. I thought the cfg files take care of that?

Weird. Anyway, I added math_sf_font in the cfg file to point to STIX Two Math. Now things run smoothly.

As per today's F2F I had confused source-sans-pro -- that's already our general purpose alternative. So, like STIX Two, it just needs to be installed.
