I've created a hack for converting Drutex from using LateX to render the pictures to using Mimetex.cgi to render them. The image quality isn't quite as good, but it works. The hack is currently in the really ugly stage where a lot of the Drutex stuff probably doesn't work (like multi-line equations), but I will test this stuff out, and see if I can modify the code to support this. I'm a real beginner in PhP so I'm not able to answer any fancy questions about it. Also, please note that you will want to change the URL to the Mimetex.cgi, and that Mimetex.cgi needs to be installed into the CGI-BIN directory of your webhost.

This is very interesting. I will code a real DruTeX mimetex module the next days.

We need it

Most of the schools and educational institutes prefer mimetex. So anyone please make drutex to be mimetex compatible.
