Hello,I am replying to a post I wrote one year ago. The mediawikil2latex package is now part of debian sid. It uses FreeSerif as default font. It has got a -f command line option that allows the use of my fonts which do cover the full unicode range and do need to be downloaded and installed manually. For me this option is acceptable. Please let me know if you have got any further suggestions.
Yours Dirk Hünniger
