Combogen fails with UnicodeEncodeError

[orkoden]

When I try to run combogen, it starts fine and reads the configuration but then fails with the following error.

UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode characters in position 50776-50778: ordinal not in range(256)

So something goes wrong while encoding characters. I suspected UTF-8 wasn't configured in the environment correctly. But running python3 -c 'import sys; print(sys.getdefaultencoding())' diligently returned utf-8.

A little research makes me suspect it might be related to something being wrong with the font. Applying the patch from #17 didn't change anything though.

OS: Xubuntu 20.04, node v12.22.9., python 3.10, using the default config.json

Any help would be appreciated.

It ran fine on macOS 13.4 (22F66), node v20.3.0, Python 3.11.4 when I tried. The Xubuntu version of node is ancient. Maybe that was the issue.
