@wmayer is there a relationship with the following ticket? 0002973 0001672 and other tickets tagged: https://www.freecadweb.org/tracker/search.php?tag_string=unicode |

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/commit/70cf68ab3d5644a35b7064728204e9421a871551 It turned out to be a Py2 limitation which raises a UnicodeEncodeError when trying to extend system path with special characters. With Py3 all this seems to work fine. https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/commit/62910898ddec24602ec5ddbe86fd20f646227dcf handles the UnicodeEncodeError and replaces the unsupported characters with "?" |

0002973 is definitely related while 0001672 seems to be something different. |
