new vision of Conky updated and fixed

This conky config script is an all in one completed and slightly modified and fixed script posted here: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=70929&forumpage=2 by lucky-luk.
After what I have suffered to make this nice conky thing running, decided to give it to others and save their pain.
It should work with Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. The only thing I dont know how to manage is to make conky not to dissappear from desktop if it is set up to start on start-up. Oh yes - and if I run it by Alt-F2 typing conky, I dont see a weather symbol. It doesnt happen if its run from terminal. Weird. If you figure out why, please write it here for others - and me :)
Another thing: the package includes all fonts needed for it. I THINK they are all free, but in case they are not, write me and I will remove it.
Includes a readme for dummies, also legend is in english, not like in screenshot.
Enjoy!

I had that same problem, caused by Conky starting before Compiz-Fusion. Try starting Conky with a script that will delay it starting until after CF is finished loading. Try:
.conky-startup.sh
#!/bin/bash
sleep 15 && conky;
then run in terminal: chmod +x .conky-startup.sh

Reason: I think, that if you use "fonts://" command, it will display to you only folder .fonts which is sitting in your home directory. But conky needs priviledges from users group STAFF. Well, I dont know it for sure, merely guessing, but it really helped me to do it like I said...
