Description:
Math formulas in printed articles does not look good, since they are rasterized
for screen rendering (~100DPI), which is far coarser compared to printers (>300DPI).
Would it be possible to generate equations of higher resolution in the
"printable version" of wiki-articles?
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

bug 3751: Render articles to PDF
With higher-resolution images rendered for high-res displays (bug 32696) we can trigger them in on the print stylesheet as well as for the density media queries (bug 32697).
Replacing dep on bug 32696 (render high-res math images) with bug 32697 (use MathJax). It produces scalable output which is even nicer!
Reopening bug 32696 and adding it back; it may be easier to set up the multiple-resolution output with texvc than to get MathJax fully ready to be the default. Particularly for printing, there are problems with MathJax. :(
What kind of problems are you having with MathJax? We're aware of one bug on our side (https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/issues/386) which will be fixed with the upcoming 2.2 release.

The real issue is to get the fonts of the math and the surrounding text to match. That would be a lot f work to make texvc do something like that. Mathml/Mathjax are better suited to these tasks."
