[Solved] Conky: No fonts work

Ploppz · 2013-10-12 20:51:20

I'm trying to set the font in Conky.

use_xft yes
xftfont Terminus:size=8

It has no effect.

You have not provided enough information.

What other fonts have you tried (you said "no fonts work")?
Does conky throw any errors if you run it from the command line?
What is in the rest of your conkyrc? Please post the entire file.
Do you have Terminus installed, and have you xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/local? (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts)
Are you able to use Terminus font in any other program?

I have "xftfont terminus:size=8" in my conkyrc and it works fine.

It gives no errors.
I tried some few fons but can't recall just which ones. Some few whose name I just saw while searching for this problem.
Terminus is installed and I'm using it in Termite.
I added those two lines to my .xinitrc and rebooted, still no success.

You have two font sections in your conkyrc. Remove this second section:

# fonts
use_xft yes
xftalpha 0
xftfont gohufont:size=9:antialias=false

(edit) OP posted a pastebin link to his conkyrc and then removed it. I am not psychic.

Your post was much more intriguing before the edit...
