boxes in conky

So i've got this fuzzy clock setup for conky, but at the end of each line there are boxes like when you don't have a font installed. Any help in getting them to go away would be great. Screenshot and .conkyrc below

I think it has something to do with forcing UTF-8 in Conky, but I'm not a 100% about that. You should try setting it though and see if it goes away.

will try, thanks.

I tried both override_utf8_locale no and override_utf8_locale yes with no luck. Is this the option you were talking about?

Also locale is set in rc.conf as LOCALE="en_US.utf8" but when i echo $LOCALE i get a blank return. . .?

$ echo $LANG
nl_BE.utf8

override_utf8_locale yes

is indeed the option I'm talking about. Maybe you should check in with the conky guys on IRC, it's been ages since I had this problem, I thought this was related, but I might be wrong .

Thanks for the clear up on $LANG ha ha ha. And seeing how the option didn't work, i will indeed ask on the irc. Thanks for the help
