[solved] conky: problem with japanese fonts

Hey guys, i have a problem with displaying japanese fonts with conky.

I have set my song related part of conky to scroll.

The fonts appear normal when the full alphabet is in the view

But sometimes rectangles with crosses inside appear, and i think this is because only half of the alphabet is in the buffer, at that time. So it doesn't display properly.

Here's my conkyrc:

Does someone have any workaround for that?

I have set it to scroll because i have a small 15" monitor, and otherwise the song related info takes up a lot of space and it'll cover up the dwm status bar too.
