Description Luke-Jr 2013-10-20 05:29:19 UTC
media-fonts/dejavu is non-free and media-fonts/unifont breaks rendering of some characters (since it overrides every symbol by default even when it only has an "unknown character" rendering)

Nothing I can do about that; upstream requires them. Disable the truetype use flag, or take it up with GRUB upstream.
Comment 2 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2013-10-21 01:17:52 UTC
Actually, it looks like they may just be build-time deps.

Does this work for you?

+  23 Oct 2013; Mike Gilbert <floppym@gentoo.org> grub-9999-r1.ebuild:
+  Remove build-time dependency on dejavu and unifont by downloading our own
+  copies. Add GRUB_AUTOGEN variable to control autogen separately from
+  autoreconf.
