He means that in the wallpaper-changer program called "variety", there is an option to post quotes on the desktop, and it would appear that Chinese characters do show up. But that is probably because the member has already installed the necessary fonts and the locale/language is set for China or Taiwan.
The issue with this conky is that it is set to display a very specific font, infini, and infini does not have the characters for Chinese/Korean/Japanese.

Yes that's why he should have tried what Jerry told him just before

Re: The MX-17 conkies
Yes, it works now. I think the team had better choose the font support unicode to prevent TOFU show up. (ex: Google's Notosans CJK fonts) Or let user choose font they want through GUI configuration.Jerry3904 wrote:Thank you. Can you please try opening the script (launch Conky Manager, highlight the active conky, click on the pencil icon) and do this:
1) use Search > Replace to change all "Infini" to "wqy-microhei"
2) change the line "override_utf8_locale no" to "override_utf8_locale yes"
Save and let us know if that works. Thanks.
Re: The MX-17 conkies
From skidoo:
consider jogging the default x/y offset for the "torn red paper" conky (as is, it partially obscures the MX logo of the default wallpaper)
noticed: at the foot of one of the tall conkies, a line displays ${some_var} an unknown/unreplaced placeholder
noticed: paperclip icon in panel lacks an onhover hint text

Back to the single desktop question,there may be a way:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... sapce?rq=1
Not sure how that would work for us, but we can look into it sometime.

Re: The MX-17 conkies
The command line tool wmctrl is used to display different Conky configurations from system startup on several workspaces.
e. g. an entry in the autostart directory looks like this
Here is an example under kde-plasma on three work surfaces and 10 conkys.
The counting method is similar to GRUB:
Work surface 1 = wmctrl 0
...
Work surface 4 = wmctrl 3
The sleep times depend on the desktop. KDE plasma is considerably slower than fluxbox.
Sticky Conkys may only be registered on work surface 1
I doubt, however, that such a project should be integrated into the delivery of a distribution. :lipsrsealed:

Code: Select all
sleep 25 && wmctrl -s 1 && conky -q -c /home/male/2016_S11.conkyrc &
#sleep 30 && wmctrl -s 2 && conky -q -c /home/male/1_accuweather/.conkyrc_1_weatherfont_simpler9 &
sleep 30 && wmctrl -s 2 && conky -q -c /home/male/S11/TEST/greyConkyrc &
sleep 40 && wmctrl -s 3 && conky -q -c /media/DATEN/francescoPC/Conky/derivantArt/ututo/s11Version/conkyrc &

Re: The MX-17 conkies
Thanks, but you're right: that ain't gonna happen!

Re: The MX-17 conkies
I am not sure what the problem is, but I do get different conkies on different workspaces by using MX Conky and checking Desktop 1 when in the alternate workspace with anew conky. Apparently MX Conky recognizes desktop 1 as the workspace that is showing. Or are you referring to a different problem?
