Quarto: ipynb to pdf

I want to convert ipynb notebooks to pdf. They include code (with unicode symbols), latex and plots. On Windows. To make this work, I did the following and I wonder if there is a simpler way:

1. install Quarto, rsvg-convert.exe (put in path), Fira Code
2. In MiKTeK, install Fira packages and recreate font files
3. quarto convert C.ipynb
4. add the following to the first yaml string in C.qmd
format:
  pdf:
    pdf-engine: xelatex
    keep-tex: true
    mainfont: "STIX Two Text"
    mathfont: "STIX Two Math"    
    monofont: "Fira Code"
execute:
  echo: true
  output: true       
5. quarto render C.qmd
