Apple Silicon: Failed to install helper utility
I'm unclear whether Monolingual is supposed to work on Apple Silicon Macs. I see you're still working on the project but haven't released a version publicly since 1.8.2. I found your link to 1.9.0 but had the same issue with the helper utility. I even gave Monolingual full disk access but that hasn't helped.
Anything else I should know about using the utility on my M1 iMac or must I be patient for your continued development?
From what I can tell, as a fellow Apple Silicon user, Monolingual no longer works. It's a file system thing. Apple has locked us out.
Apple MacBook pro 14", M2 pro under Sonoma 14.2 I look for comments that explain what Monolingual designed for Mac Intel can do for an Apple M chip, even though Apple has locked down access to the system. and I only see this thread that testifies that it still works... I've loaded the latest version 1.8.2 and can confirm: Monolingual is doing its job... it has purged 2.35 Gb of fonts that I'll never use (except for English and French, in my case). As a confirmation test... I ran Monolingual a second time, and it found nothing more to purge! Thanks to Ingmar Stein.

Sonoma 14.3 beta works like a charm! but hope the new universal update comes out soon!
