[Bug]: 1.21.1 conky display is truncated

[AngryPhantom]

What happened?

Upgrading to conky 1.21.1-1 on Arch Linux makes it look truncated (not full):

Downgraded to version 1.20.2 and now it's fine, as it should be:

Version

1.21.1-1

Which OS/distro are you seeing the problem on?

Arch Linux

Also, the RAM bars look like 'bold' or something. Like in another bug report here.

It's actually on another machine. I guess I just miss some package there, not sure. Since the above screenshots don't have this issue. Will look further into this in the evening.

Me too, it's like minimum_height and minimum_width are not used, my dirty fix is add empty line at end of conky.text section

Version: 1.21.1-1
SO: Debian testing

Update last days, over 1.20.2, where worked fine

[brndnmtthws]

I think this is likely related to the geometry changes, so I'm hoping @Caellian knows what's going on here and we can get a quick fix.

What about those 'bold' bars? Also related to geometry?

I've looked into possible missing packages (I thought I needed gperf installed or something) but didn't find anything.
On one machine I have normal bars, on another one - bold ones. That's strange.

[Caellian]

Closing as duplicate of #1925.

In short, this is caused by minimum_height not being large enough because it's no longer scaled by DPI. If setting it to a 5x value still does nothing, let me know and I'll reopen this issue.

I just upgraded from 1.19.6 to 1.21.1, and I'm also encountering this weird bug where suddenly a lot of lines are bolded. I can fix the horizontal "$hr" lines by changing that to "${hr (1)}", but I can't figure out how to unboldify the bars. If that's a wontfix because it isn't considered a bug, than what is the exact precise thing I need to do to de-boldify stuff back to the way it was before?

It's closed because there's already two issues dedicated to separate parts of this issue that were created before this one. See last comment and linked issue, right before your message.
