I don't have that file, note that not all applications support UTF-8 yet, don't know where the characters are being displayed, try other applications, type 'locale' to see what exactly the current locale is. 
one thing, you'll be better off with a empty LC_ALL , but en.US.UTF-8 for you LANG. good luck

 I have re-emerged freetype with
 -bindist. And I would really like to be able to set some Verdana or
 Arial non-antialiased font as GTK default.

emerge corefonts

emerge corefontsI did. They are merged with the system. The problem is that GTK or freetype (don't what would be technically correct) refuses to display them correctly.They display a series of four numbers instead of a given character.
