Same issue.

Can confirm on Windows 11 too

Thank you for info. Currently I have no access to Windows 11 to check it. As I see you forgot to install pywin32 as described here, it is neccessary under Windows, try python -m pip install pywin32 fotokilof

I encountered the same problem. By debugging the source code, I figured it out that this problem is probably due to non-utf8 system encoding instead of Windows 11. The error log was like:

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\fotokilof_carbene_fonts_list
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\xxx\Projects\FotoKilof\src\fotokilof.py", line 2381, in <module>
    img_text_font_dict = fonts()    # Reading available fonts
  File "C:\Users\xxx\Projects\FotoKilof\src\fotokilof.py", line 610, in fonts
    result = magick.get_fonts_dict(GM_or_IM)
  File "C:\Users\xxx\Projects\FotoKilof\src\magick.py", line 163, in get_fonts_dict
    for line in file:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'gbk' codec can't decode byte 0xad in position 6025: illegal multibyte sequence

And it can be solved simply by specifying the encoding utf-8(src/magick.src, line 148):

file = open(file_font, "r", encoding="utf-8")

Thanks a lot for hint with encoding. I will update it today, we will see ;-)

fixed in 3.8.5

bug repeats again. fotokilof command does not open a window in windows 11

[TeaM-TL]

did you use\: python -m pip install pywin32 fotokilof

pywin32 has to be installed

[TeaM-TL]

try latest version 4.0.0 install: python -m pip install pywin32 wand fotokilof during install ImageMagick, enable libraries! and add to path
