[SOLVED] Conky Not Displaying Unicode Characters Correctly
I have some music that requires unicode characters in order to be displayed properly. The artist name is Röyksopp, but it is displayed like this:

Does anyone know how to either make it display correctly (Röyksopp), or at least remove the umlauts to make it almost correct(Royksopp)? I've set the locale, so it displays correctly in both i3bar and urxvt, but it had no effect on conky.
EDIT: Here is my conkyrc.

Try a different font.

I know that this font works because I tried it in urxvt and it displayed correctly.
Also, I tried "override_utf8_locale yes" and it still was incorrect.

Hmm, can you try mpd_artist without scroll? I have had several problems myself using scroll. If it doesn't work, try conky with the
/etc/conky/conky_no_x11.conffile, adjusted for mpd of course.

I know for a fact it's not scroll, because it started before I was using scroll. I'll take a look at that file.

Re: [SOLVED] Conky Not Displaying Unicode Characters Correctly
If you add Röyksopp as a label in conkyrc does that work? The conkyrc you posted has override_utf8_locale in it twice first set to yes then set to no.

Re: [SOLVED] Conky Not Displaying Unicode Characters Correctly
Removing the one that said "no" fixed it. This was the default one that I modified, and I didn't see that (it must have been there from the beginning.
