The current fonts does not provide suppor for japanese characters. So in some songs the now-clocking looks like this (squares when on song name, and nothing on artist name):
I am no expert with conky configuration neither with lua, but these where my ideias for solutions:
-
Use a fallback font (that have japanese characters), so this way the current font looks won't change in most cases, only when it would fail. So in other words: same lookin when everythin is okay, and correct characters instead of squares.
-
Merge two fonts into one: get the missing japanese characteres from another font, and add to the current missing ones.
I have no ideia how to get font fallback working in conky, so if you could tell me how, i could gadly implement it and open a pull request.
