When building monafont, the builder will take the locale envirnment variables into consideration and it will fail if LC_CTYPE is set to any UTF-8 encodings. One posible solution is to set LC_ALL to "POSIX" or "C" in the ebuild file. It is advised that NO ebuilds should depend on the locale set by the envirnment variables. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. define a UTF-8 locale by typing the following: # localedef -v -c -i en_CA -f UTF-8 en_CA.UTF-8 You can replace en_CA with other languages 2. run the following: LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 emerge monafont Actual Results: IT will spit out tons of warnings about invalid UTF-8 characters and ultimately fail. Expected Results: The emerge should succedd with very little warnings I created another locale, ja_JP.SJIS (created with localedef). The following locale all passed with little warnings: C POSIX ja_JP.SJIS I haven't tested to see if those three locales will generate different result, and I suspect that the package, monafont, should only be built under one locale (very likely ja_JP.SJIS), and other locales might generate obscure bugs even if it was built without errors (such as C or POSIX).
Actually it doesn't fail to build here even though I get lots of errors (after I added `export PERL_BADLANG=0` to src_compile() section all those errors went away). I tested both monafont-2.22 and monafont-2.90 with LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8. Could you sent your `emerge info` and the version of monafont you tried? The full log of failed emerge will also help.

I reconfirmed your bug with `LANG=en_CA LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 emerge monafont` and adding LC_CTYPE=C in src_compile() solved the problem. Thanks for reporting.
