I installed OSC/PILOT on PC that had cyrillic characters in username. It didn’t load saying that it can’t generate fonts. As soon as I renamed my user account it started working as intended.

Not a big deal for sure. But some users might be affected.

example: c:\Users\компьютер\

Thanks for the report. I’ll take a look at this. Unicode support isn’t great in the app itself, but file paths should support unicode.
