Workaround for problem with rendering mermaid diagrams in pdfs on WSL2

[Rockgecko]

I have been trying to render a .qmd file to pdf after I added a mermaid diagram.
I am using the Quarto VScode extension (with VScode attached to wsl via the Remote-wsl extension), but also tried rendering from the command line in wsl directly. In both cases I was getting the error: ERROR: Couldn't find open server.

I saw the information in the docs here about potentially needing to install chromium using the command quarto tools install chromium. Tried this (from wsl command line), but still got the error afterwards. I could not find anything in the puppeteer docs that seemed relevant, but I did find a suggestion elsewhere that installing google-chrome directly via wsl might resolve issues with chromium. I tried this (following the info in this answer) and am now able to render without errors.

Not sure it's an official solution, but might do as a workaround, so just posting in case anyone else has the same problem.
