Japanese characters render in ncmpc++, not Conky. [Same font]

Hello everyone. Not an Arch or Linux beginner per se, but couldn't really find a better place to post this to. I've followed the suggestions laid out in this old thread, but haven't had much luck.


Now I'm guessing the Arch conky package is a version that supports Unicode, so that part shouldn't be an issue.

Since they're both in the Monospace font, just different sizes, shouldn't it be rendering it correctly?

I've tried the ${font} options, the utf_override, and all sorts of things, but can't find the cause of the problem.

Download the wqy-zenhei font from community and use it as your main font or with the ${font } option like this :
WenQuanYi Zenhei:size:12
It displays chinese and japanese and alos korean (I think)

This works as I thought it would, thank you! But I find it strange that the Monospace font would show the characters properly in one program, and incorrectly in another when both have Unicode support. Does anyone have any ideas?
