[SOLVED] Conky troubles - strange positioning issues

I'm trying to put a Tux at the bottom of my Conky using the OpenLogos font, however it leaves me with a large gap at the top, and cuts the bottom of Tux off, leaving just the top of his head. When I comment out the line referring to Tux (the bottom line), the rest of the texts takes it's usual position.

Also, I had some slight issues with the centering of Tux, but I seem to have fixed it by adding the "70" to the "alignc", although I don't know why it did it in the first place.

Here's my Conky config.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Re: [SOLVED] Conky troubles - strange positioning issues

you could try something like this

${alignc 70}${font OpenLogos:size=150}t${font FreeSans:size=11}

so that the font size is set smaller right after the tux.

if you cant figure it out then find a image of tux and display it with the image function in conky

Thank you, that worked perfectly. I didn't think of doing that.
