Arch logo font

I found a conky script on here that has a arch logo on it, in the conkyrc, this is used

$color ${font openlogos:bold:size=18}B$

But all that shows up is a "B" but its supposed to have the arch logo, Am i missing the openlogos font??

That seems to be it. You can get the font here:

The *.zip file you download from the link provided has two files in it:

keys.pdf
openlogos.ttf

If you only got the *.pdf, try again.

The *.ttf file is the font file. The *.pdf file (to which you referred) just contains the key / legend for which key is mapped to which logo. So, from the key, we see Arch is B, thus your conky code as you submitted.

Just copy the *.ttf file to ~/.fonts or to /usr/share/fonts/TTF.

Also, be sure to close your font tag with "$font" after using the openlogos font (or any font for that matter).
