When trying to display output from a script with conky, utf-8 lineart gets replaced by the letter n.
My locale is de_DE.UTF-8. When I add output_to_console yes and output_to_x no, the output is correct.
Test script to reproduce:
http://bpaste.net/show/156038/
Conkyrc:
http://bpaste.net/show/156037/
conky -V: http://bpaste.net/show/156102/
it seems my console client was silently translating that were not supported by my font to a different font. It works with the correct font.
Please close as invalid.
