characters codage on date time #16

Closed serako closed 8 years ago

serako commented 8 years ago

On fresh install RC1, the BL-Ellipses-Time.conkyrc don't have the good codage for the date caractere I select in the debian installer the french language.

exemple: i have "dA@cembre" (not exactly see pictures) normaly it's "décembre" .

codage_error

my solution, it's add this line : override_utf8_locale yes

^ edit three files $HOME/.config/conky/BL-Ellipses-Time.conkyrc $HOME/.config/conky/BL-Ellipses-Time-Blue.conkyrc $HOME/.config/conky/BL-Ellipses-Time-Grey.conkyrc

No need to add a line, change: override_utf8_locale no to override_utf8_locale yes

@Sector11 should we make override_utf8_locale yes the default in all the conky config files? Or perhaps some of them?

ghost commented 8 years ago

I read that the switch forces UTF-8 regardless of the locale. When the switch is set, I imagine that locales using non-UTF8 encodings won't look very pretty. Tnky his might affect users using KOI (cyrillic-alphabet fonts), BIG (Chinese fonts), ISO8895 (different Latin alphabets), SHIFTJS etc pp badly. Why the hell doesn't conky get the font encoding right by itself?

Sector11 commented 8 years ago

Can't answer that one Jens, but every conky I make since 2007 has had override_utf8_locale yes set because of problems people had showing the ° symbol mostly. It fixed it in every instance that I know of. Conky says:

override_utf8_locale    Force UTF8? requires XFT

And I have always used that IE:

xftfont Fantasque Sans Mono:bold:size=12
xftalpha 1.0
override_utf8_locale yes

All of the BL conkys I created use it.

Then let's set it.

Sector11 commented 8 years ago

I can't - I've lost touch with GIT a long time ago. I kept getting errors. Someone else will have to do it.

I'm in advisory mode only.

johnraff commented 8 years ago

OK if it's cool with you @Sector11 I'll change those lines later next week.

Sector11 commented 8 years ago

Awesome ... you just need to change the no to yes in three files. :)

johnraff commented 8 years ago

OK now done. There were five files that needed changing: conky/BL-Ellipses-Time-Blue.conkyrc conky/BL-Ellipses-Time-Grey.conkyrc conky/BL-Ellipses-Time.conkyrc conky/Classic.conkyrc conky/conkyrc_cb
