locale not available in Dzen and Dmenu

A few weeks ago my laptop overheated and shut down and ever since then dmenu has refused to run giving me a "no locale support" message. Dzen runs but gives the following warning " dzen: locale not available, expect problems with fonts" True to it's word, dzen doesn't display the powerline fonts that I use for my status bar  (Previously it worked just fine).  I

've reinstalled dzen (I use the xft-xpm-xinerama-git version) but no luck. I have tried regenerating the locales several times, the only line uncommented in /etc/locale.gen is en_Us.UTF-8 UTF-8. The only line in my locale.conf is LANG=en_US.UTF-8.

locale outputs:
    LANG=en_US.UTF-8
    LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

locale -a outputs:
    C
    en_US.utf8
    POSIX
