Non-ASCII DST header is not working: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe4 in position 3: invalid continuation byte
See original GitHub issueSee this file: https://andreymal.org/files/emb/дизайн 1.DST
It was created using russian version of Tajima DG/ML by Pulse 14.
pyembroidery can’t read this file:
>>> pyembroidery.read_dst('дизайн 1.DST')
File "pyembroidery/DstReader.py", line 58, in dst_read_header
header_string = header.decode('utf8')
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe4 in position 3: invalid continuation byte
The header has a non-ASCII string “дизайн 1” that is actually encoded using ANSI encoding (Windows-1251 for Russia):
>>> print(header.decode('windows-1251'))
'LA:дизайн 1 \rST: 3294\rCO: 0\r+X: 298\r …
Could you provide a way to set a custom header encoding for the read_dst
function?

There is a photo from Tajima TFMX-C1501 embroidery machine. The encoding is obviously incorrect, but it seems it’s working (click to enlarge)
Fixed the minor remaining issue. #88.
