I have edited the Gotham theme so it uses NotoSans font and does not require additional fonts to work
Conk Gotham theme (NotoSans remix) · GitHub

download and extract the file to home folder: ~/.config/conky/conky.conf

to start conky automatically on XFCE I added an autostart item in xfce4-session-settings
Imgur - Conky start to create .desktop file in user home folder:

~/.config/autostart/conky.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/conky -p3
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name=Conky

the -p option in the conky command is vital to delay conky starting when system boots
if conky does not load, increase delay from 3 seconds
a user booting from HDD may need to use -p10
