I'm not going to read the 7 pages, so if it has been mentioned, apologies.

If user boots F2 language other than English, I tested Greek, Russian, Hungarian, Italian then the default conky looks awful gobbledygook.

What do you mean by gobbledygook? I'm testing B2 32bit live and default Conky seems normal from my point of view.

I'm guessing the font that the conky uses does not have the proper characters built in. most of the conky themes have a font included that gets dumped into ~/.fonts.

The fonts for that conky, as for the others, is included in the conky's own folder. I will look into changing that to see if it makes a difference. It's also possible I suppose that that font is too specialized, so will also look at using something more general.

I think if the fonts are removed, it defaults to the system font.

just be aware that during testing, the conky manager dumps any font specified by the particular theme into ~./fonts .
