I have some trouble with in-game fonts. I tried installing the ttf-ms-fonts package and the SteamFonts.zip package as mentioned on the wiki, but without any luck.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Or should I perhaps report it at the Steam for Linux github project? See these screenshots for examples from Half-Life:

You must be missing some other font. I'm not in Arch Linux right now so I can't figure out which one it is, I can boot to it later and find it for you.

The only thing I can think of is:
drivers: nvidia lib32-nvidia-utils (32bit lib if you are on 64bit)
locale: steam game may look for locale en_UTF8

Installing ttf-liberation (it works fine for me in CS:S) and perma-install SteamFonts in / would be the next things I would try.
Just throwing it out there.

This is a great idea, also shown on the steam wiki. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … or_missing
worth a shot imo

I tried installing these fonts first into ~/.fonts then by using the Font Management application in KDE. No luck. I'm not familiar with the expression "perma-install", so if that actually is some special way of installing fonts...please let me know

Just extract the zip into ~/.fonts (make sure the directory is created and all the ttf files are there). Then run fc-cache -vf

Give that a shot. See if it fixes it.

Kind of missed this. Installing lib32-nvidia-utils did the trick! When I ran steam from terminal I noticed this:

I don't know what this is but Valve might like to speak to you:
