I have the same issue, mine is missing for some reason.. Nothing fancy, Im afraid. I just did nano -w /etc/env.d/02locale Mine reads: LC_ALL=en_CA.UTF-8 LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 Theres a page on gentoo.org with instructions. There's another line you need if you live in Euroland.

[gentoo-user] ncurses apps garbled in text console
For some reason (probably a careless etc-update) ncurses based apps (e.g. mc and kernel make menuconfig) have started looking really ugly when displayed in a text console, but look fine in xterm and konsole. Rectangular frames are absent, columns don't line up, the wrong character disappears when I hit backspace, and so on, to the point of making the applications unusable. Any ideas?
