Missing fonts in community server browser

[mmt84]

Community server browser misses some fonts despite the fact that I've installed all windows 10 fonts in my system. I'm on Arch Linux and my steam client is up-to-date. Tried both steam runtime and steam native.

The "x" for closing the browser and star emoji from server descriptions are missing.

I've no performance issues in game. And all fonts (player names etc.) and characters (including cyrillic, arabic, cjk fonts and emojis) are displayed correctly in game. I only have problem with developer console fonts and community server browser fonts.

Partial duplicate of #345 / #2167.

I managed to fix this issue by installing ttf-mscorefonts-installer on debian but the name depends on your distro

[mmt84]

The package you mention provides an outdated version of ms core fonts and does not provide all the fonts included in a windows installation. All it does is to install those fonts system wide and update your fontconfig cache.

A few days ago it happened to me too, I uninstalled some fonts and the community server browser, plus some elements of game UI (scoreboard, some messages) became wonky when displaying non-ASCII chars (e.g. words were cut in half if they contained non-ascii chars).

It turned out I uninstalled also locales-all package (debian) for some reason, and it was the culprit here, not the missing fonts. Re-installing it fixed it. I don't know the details of libfontconfig but I guess it might depend on some locale files for font rendering.

I've had a similar problem and have had it for months if not years, and still unable to find a solution anywhere.

As a reminder - please take a look at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2544#issuecomment-840881507 - the libfontconfig (the ttf renderer) requires proper locale files to render fonts correctly, so check if your distro contains relevant locales-all or a similar package.

One way to check it, is to simply type perl in your command-line, if it complaints about locales at start, then I guess you should work on it.
