Fixed. Thanks for the bug report.
from ScummVM site: "In light of the 0.8.0 release, which requires the additional SKY.CPT file to run Beneath a Steel Sky, we've updated the archive of the freeware CD version to include this file, and while we were at it, updated the data files to the last-known released version of BASS, which should fix some text issues that appear when playing the game in non-english languages." link: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scummvm/bass-cd-1.2.zip?download should the ebuild be upgraded to grab this file instead of the old one + SKY.CPT?
which is now in portage, thanks
