The vnstat hour graph is not aligned properly in conky

ch flag

I am currently using ubuntu budgie 20.10. I have been trying to make a conky script to display the hourly data usage stats and usage graph by using vnstat -i wlp5s0 -hg. But the graph and the text are not aligned as the should be. I have done this before but I formatted by laptop and didn't backup the conky script. Can anyone help me with this?

Current view (the center one):

Nothing in this question seems to have anything to do with an unstated version of Ubuntu?

I found out the answer. The problem was the font being used. I replaced the font with monospace and things are back in order once again.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
