Hello.

I am supporting and ehancing a fork of Slic3r, one of the main applications
for fused filamet 3D printing.
http://slic3r.org/
https://github.com/prusa3d/Slic3r/releases

It is likely one of the largest wxPerl applications, combining perl,
wxWidgets and a lot of custom C++ code.

Our customers have currently issues running Slic3r on Windows, when
installed into a path with localized characters, for example Russian. This
often happens if one installs Slic3r into his home directory.

I verified that wxPerl outright crashes, when installed into a localized
directory on Windows 10 64bit and Strawberry Perl 5.24.0, tested with
wxdemo.

Is there a chance that this will be looked into by someone, please? Or has
been wxPerl abandoned and I am left to provide a fix myself?

Thanks,
Vojtech
