Error when trying to add Chinese text

[mokkinghang]

Basically it is the same issue as in https://github.com/3b1b/manim/issues/570, however it was not clear how the person solved the issue, for he stated that he didn't know how he managed to solve it. I am using Windows 10 and MiKTeX. I tried to edit constants.py,TEX_USE_CTEX = False was changed to True and it returns the error:

 File "D:\Programs\manim\manim\manimlib\extract_scene.py", line 153, in main
    scene = SceneClass(**scene_kwargs)
  File "D:\Programs\manim\manim\manimlib\scene\scene.py", line 54, in __init__
    self.construct()
  File "tutorial/1_text_format.py", line 5, in construct
    text = TextMobject("你好")
  File "D:\Programs\manim\manim\manimlib\mobject\svg\tex_mobject.py", line 144, in __init__
    self, self.arg_separator.join(tex_strings), **kwargs
  File "D:\Programs\manim\manim\manimlib\mobject\svg\tex_mobject.py", line 45, in __init__
    self.template_tex_file_body
  File "D:\Programs\manim\manim\manimlib\utils\tex_file_writing.py", line 19, in tex_to_svg_file
    dvi_file = tex_to_dvi(tex_file)
  File "D:\Programs\manim\manim\manimlib\utils\tex_file_writing.py", line 67, in tex_to_dvi
    "See log output above or the log file: %s" % log_file)
Exception: Xelatex error converting to xdv. See log output above or the log file: D:\Programs\manim\manim\manimlib\files\Tex\6d518d13918960fc.log

And the command is extremely simple:

class WriteText(Scene): 
    def construct(self): 
        text = TextMobject("你好")
        self.play(Write(text))
        self.wait(3)

Anyway that has proven to work to solve the issue? For I am not the first one encountering this.

By the way, it is what it says in D:\Programs\manim\manim\manimlib\files\Tex\6d518d13918960fc.log.

If you can read Chinese, you can find the answer in this file I written.

If you can read Chinese, you can find the answer in this file I written.

Thank you, however it doesn't seem to solve my problem. I followed the instructions in the pdf: Change the following in manimlib/constants.py : Change MEDIA_DIR = "./media" to MEDIA_DIR = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "media") and change TEX_USE_CTEX from False to True. It returns the following error messages:

Media will be written to D:\Programs\manim\manim-master\media\. You can change this behavior with the --media_dir flag.

The log file told you that you don't have 'SimHei' font(黑体).You can download and install it on the internet, or search about 'The font SimHei cannot be found' on baidu or google, that may help you.

[mokkinghang]

Sorry if it is a stupid question, so is the font to be installed directly in the OS or in MiKTeX? And it means that SimHei is some sort of a default font for Chinese here? Anyway to change the default font? Because it seems to be a simplified Chinese font, and I mainly work with traditional Chinese.

[mokkinghang]

This time I get some new error messages (font already installed in OS):

emmm...did you install the font or running it under administrators' privilege.

[angelfly2000]

I am running manim on win10,and having the same problem too.Debugging, I am thinking it is something wrong with TeXworks.

---- this is part of my log file below ---

Thanks, that's the best solution! Avoided the mess that happened when changing the constants.:)

That's all right.

Hey everybody, would you like to try #1187 ? One of my friends had faced the same problem and got the same log file as you. After doing this, he succeed.

There is one thing I have to say: even though Text is good to use, but it doesn’t support formulas and it has some bug now. So use Text entirely instead of Tex(t)Mobject is not a good idea.
