6 years ago Not sure if this is related but I got in-game box characters when playing a Japanese game so I couldn't see Japanese characters.
What I did to fix it was make sure Ubuntu already had the locale so I did sudo locale-gen ja_JP.UTF-8.
Then in the game launcher options for the game I typed LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 %command%. Then I was able to see Japanese characters! Hope this helps.
P.S. I also did a WINETRICKS=[your drive]/steamapps/compatadata/<game-id>/pfx winetricks allfonts just in case the proton (wine) prefix didn't have support for the fonts installed inside the game already.

6 years ago Yes, it works!
Tested with LC_ALL=fr_FR %command% with C&C Red Alert 3.
Great idea, thanks :+1:

Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
In Proton (both 3.7-3 and 3.7-4 Beta) in Geometry Dash I can't use any special characters, e.g.
,.-#+ßöäü. This is not an issue with Geometry Dash itself, because it works fin on my PlayOnLinux installation on the same machine. I haven't tested it on other games yet.Steps for reproducing this issue:
