Some questions: - What version of mplayer is it? - Has this always happened, or did something trigger it. i.e. upgrading to a new version of mplayer or a certain library. - Does this happen on all media files? - If you run the graphical version of mplayer (gmplayer) and go to the configuration dialog, do you see any messed up text there also? - Can you emerge sync, emerge the same version of mplayer again and see if you still end up with this problem? Thanks

Absolutely, and with both normal messages (when no problem exists), and error messages (when something doesn't work). > If you run the graphical version of mplayer (gmplayer) > and go to the configuration dialog, do you see any messed > up text there also? I do not have the graphical version installed (I don't even see a gmplayer with 'qpkg -i mplayer' - I do see a kmplayer though). > Can you emerge sync, emerge the same version of mplayer > again and see if you still end up with this problem? Well, I just did the (security) update from 0.92 to 0.92-r1 with no effect, but it can't hurt. :) While I wait, this shows the flags I have set: # emerge -Dpv mplayer These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Well, you'll have to work with me, since I merged the same version with the same USE flags and don't see the problem. I suspect a locale issue. could you provide the output from: set | grep LC set | grep LANG set | grep NLS thanks
