Another strange symbol, this time next to 'Temperature', it reads 43A°C.
Screenshot attached.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks

Try the workaround I posted above, I actually recall using Wordpad in W7 and trying various fonts to get the effect I needed without digging too deep into the metadata - and then found out it was this that caused the issue and not the original source file or font.

Might be better if people post the conf files direct rather than relying on using the browser to copy/paste from - I gave up trying to get MicroB to play ball.
There was also a space missing before the "|" symbol for the mmc1 line which might only be noticeable if the card is less than 10MB - don't think that was down to the editor as I can't see it on the forum either.

Notepad++ on xp did the trick, I now have a degree sign in conky with no dodgey A.
Microsoft Expression web 1 used to do a similar thing to php files screwing with the page encoding.

Make sure your page encoding is set to UTF-8 without BOM

Hi,
I've been the same problem and i solved it with Notepad++ under Win7. Convert and Encode the file in UTF-8 format.
Also I added this line in the configuration file: override_utf8_locale yes

All times are GMT. The time now is 15:35.
I'm pretty sure I used Wordpad to copy / paste into and it was fine, but I had strange metadata symbols all over the place after using both phone to copy and paste and also Notepad within Windoze.
Either Notepad or Wordpad will do it without screwing up the file with crappy metadata, try both of those - if it doesn't work post back.
