Exception: Latex error converting to dvi, when using Scandinavian characters

[AndersGroen]

I want to use Scandinavian characters in a TextMobject, like this
first_guess_text = TextMobject("Startgæt")
When I try to render, I get the following error:

Exception: Latex error converting to dvi. See log output above or the log file: C:\Manim\manim_03022019\manimlib\files\Tex\8d9610b9ccfaa1a7.log

In the log file (which can be seen here) it says that there is a package Inputenc error: Invalid UTF-8 byte sequence.

I googled and found this but that didn't help. I did try opening the file C:\Manim\manim_03022019\manimlib\files\Tex\8d9610b9ccfaa1a7.tex and found out that it is encoded as ISO-8859-1 and the changes I made to tex_template.tex is not made in that file. The top is
\usepackage[english]{babel}
instead of
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{siunitx}

I think that is the problem but I don't know how to fix it.

You have to configure your manimlib / tex_template.tex file in UTF-8 (you do that with a conventional code editor).
Then, check that you have the siunitx package installed, that is, run:

pdflatex tex_template.tex

You must do this with the terminal in the manimlib folder.
If the file generates the pdf file correctly, then you have the package installed, if not, you should investigate how to install it.
Obviously you should have the package added to you tex_template.tex file, like this.

I believe manimlib / tex_template.tex is already configured in UTF-8 (see this).

I also tried writing
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
at the start of the file.

The pdf file is generated correctly (it generates a pdf that is grey except in the middle where the text "YourTextHere" is written on white background).
