[Conky-users] UTF-8 display problem

[Aseem M. <am...@gm...>]

Hi.

I am running the following version:
Conky 1.6.0_pre01224 compiled Sat Aug  2 21:20:38 PDT 2008 for Linux
2.6.24-19-generic (x86_64)

My problem is that inspite of using the following settings:

override_utf8_locale    yes
use_xft                 yes
xftfont                 Terminus:size=12

I cannot seem to print the the degree symbol [°]. Since I run a
Openbox+SlimDM setup I was concerned that perhaps my locale was messed
up, however that all seems to be fine:

$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=POSIX

and I can type the character in xterm and other X apps.

I was windering if anybody had an idea as to what I might be missing??

Thanks.
