Conky Rhythmbox Python Script

[kaivalagi]

I'm guessing it's something just simple like not using a supported font right? How would I find out a list of fonts that support Korean Chinese and Japanese?

Not sure about what is available already

If you want pure Korean fonts I found some here: http://www.wazu.jp/gallery/Fonts_Korean.html

Just pop the ttf's into ~/.fonts and run "fc-cache -v" to refresh the font cache

Then there's always the option of removing the Korean portion of the title in the ID3 tag.

That's got to be the favourite...assuming the id tag editor can handle the characters and doesn't crash

Hey, kaivalagi. Any chance of getting conky's ${scroll} feature added to the template? I noticed that the newest conky has scrolling ability, and thought it would be cool for long song titles on my narrow conky, but it doesn't seem to work with execi and the rhythmbox script.

For long titles I just pass the output of the script into fold.

Eg:

execp conkyRhythmbox --template=/home/adam/.conkyRhythmbox.template --nounknownoutput | fold -w33 -s

Nice!!!!

That's a good thing to know, thanks ad_267!

Cammy, have you tried using the scroll option in the template, if supported by execp/execpi it might well work...not sure as it's inside an exec call but worth trying

I did, but I might have boogered up the syntax (I'm good at doing that). I'll play around with it some more.

Hey guys I managed to get Korean and Chinese to display as you can see:



I was wondering if you guys can help me with the alignment of my conky script. As you can see after the titles I have "//.time" etc, the first word is slightly to the right. Also if you look at the RB down at the bottom you can see a more extreme version of this. How can I fix this?

Get rid of $font as the first item in each of those lines and put it at the end of the previous line instead. I also prefer ${font} instead of $font but it probably doesn't make any difference.
