Multi byte characters are displayed as garbage characters by xlock (from x11-misc/xlockmore 5.17) . This software originally have the configuration switch to show these chracters properly, "./configure --enable-use-mb". I wonder if you would add the following line in src_compile() function in xlockmore-*.ebuild use cjk && myconf="${myconf} --enable-use-mb" Regards, Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. generate "~/.signature" containing multi byte characters 2. "# emerge xlockmore" 3. "$ xlock" Actual Results: Garbage characters appear. Expected Results: Multi byte characters appear.
Added in 5.21-r1 - USE flag is "nls".
