Moving to Newbie Corner.
Provide your conky configuration file.

Re: I have problems with conky

FWIW, picking a better thread title could expedite getting help.  The only informational content in the current title is "conky".  The rest ("I have problems with ...") is a given: this is a support forum.  So drop that part, and give a brief statement of the problem(s) you are having in the title.

Re: I have problems with conky

I'd say gotham is a theme and it seems to rely on a very specific font and also undercuts lines and gaps for the "y" in any day.

So if your font is wrong or your locale has dates w/ a lot of descending chracters, it'll become messy.
