Change font in conky
« on: June 06, 2010, 09:59:30 AM »
Hi,
I tried to use the font "Radio Space Italic" In my conky to display the time but when I try to use that font, conky just gives me the error:

Conky: can't load font 'Radio Space Italic'

The font is installed in ~/.fonts and I can even use it with opera. I already tried
fc-cache -f -v ~/.fonts
and it said it updated something but I still get the same error.

Here's my conky config file:

Code: [Select]

use_xft no
xftfont Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:size=10
xftalpha 0.8
