Conky Font (not plus)
« on: October 13, 2011, 03:32:30 PM »
I am fairly new to TC, and currently I am trying to build up a workable system.  So far I think I am doing pretty good, except I ran into a very slight problem with Conky.
I pretty much have my config file the way that I want it, except I want to increase the font size, and bolden a couple of words.  Now I have not installed Conky_Plus as I don't want to add another 180K of Conky.

So what I am trying to do is ${font Vera:size=17} but every time I do that I receive a "Conky: can't load font 'Vera:size=17'".  It doesn't matter to me whether I use Vera or not, I just don't know what the default font Conky is using, especially since XFT is disabled. 

Does anyone know what the default font is, or how I can change the size of the font without installing Conky_Plus?  Or rather if it is even possible?

If anyone is interested here is my conkyrc that I am using.  Nothing real special.

Sorry I didn't use code tags, but every time I did it told me I can't post external links
