ValueError: xelatex error converting to xdv, cannot display Chinese character
Description of bug / unexpected behavior
I'm learning https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/guides/using_text.html#latex-maths-fonts-the-template-library, the second sample, and make it simpler with only Chinese character: 你好.
from manim import *
class LaTeXTemplateLibrary(Scene):
def construct(self):
tex = Tex(
r"{你好}",
tex_template=TexTemplateLibrary.ctex,
font_size = 96
# font = "simhei"
)
self.add(tex)
but get this error:
