Weird conky text outline

[again?]

@david-longe could be right.
Check for running instances...

ps aux | grep -i '[c]onky'

If you start conky from a script, could begin with a killall conky.

To me it looks like 2 instances of your conky are running at the same time. Next time the text looks wonky check your system monitor to see if you have more than one conky running.

It's not as straightforward as that: I have, on prior machines, had doubled-up conky, and it doesn't look quite like that. You'll notice that the outline of the text is orange, rather than the grey it would be if there were simply two of them.

It seems to be an initialisation issue. On resuming the session, and resuming the compositor after running games.
