11 years ago Is ~/.local/share/fonts a thing? Could you share your /etc/fonts/fonts.conf and /etc/fonts/local.conf (local.conf might be inside /etc/fonts/conf.d/) files please.
http://wiki.debian.org/Fonts + https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts + http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/X.Org/Fonts#User_Fonts + https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration have nothing on it.

11 years ago I'm not sure if it's a thing or not, but the GNOME Font Viewer 3.8.0 on Arch Linux seems to think so. It would be weird for Chromium and Firefox to be looking in that directory if it wasn't a proper place for fonts.

<dir prefix="xdg">fonts</dir> is setting this for fontconfig, so Steam should be able to pick up fonts in that location.
If you run this in a terminal fc-match :family=Arial could you provide the output.

11 years ago Steam just uses fontconfig and freetype2 and doesn't do any direct font file lookups, so it's not clear why it's not working for you, particularly if fc-match is working. Steam should be getting the same results as fc-match since it's using fontconfig.
The behavior you're seeing is that Steam is using Liberation instead of Arial but is otherwise working? That seems like Steam was given a different font by fontconfig. Do you have any custom skins or anything else?
justinmayhew
commented
11 years ago Yeah, Liberation instead of Arial but everything works fine.
I've tested it multiple times by symlinking ~/.fonts to ~/.local/share/fonts. When the symlink is there, the client renders using Arial. When it's not there, it renders with Liberation.
I'm using a default steam client, no skins.

11 years ago Strange. I don't have any immediate suggestions; we'll see if we can repro here.

8 years ago For what it's worth, I can reproduce this issue on Arch Linux too. Doesn't work without ~/.fonts symlink, works with it. I am using a skin (Air for Steam).

5 years ago I confirm the issue. ~/.fonts is actually deprecated in many distros: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2014-July/005269.html

5 years ago I'm on Arch with Gnome as well and I don't have any ~/.fonts or .local/share/fonts directory, but I do have /usr/share/fonts and /etc/fonts
I have Arial installed under
~/.local/share/fontsbut the Steam client doesn't pick it up.It appears as if the Steam client is only looking at
~/.fonts, because If I symlink~/.fontsto~/.local/share/fontsit does indeed render the client using Arial.As far as I understand,
~/.fontsis the old, deprecated place to store fonts in a users home directory. The GNOME Font Viewer application installs fonts into the new location, and applications like Chromium and Firefox are indeed looking in the new location for fonts.It's a minor issue - the Steam client is still usable using the Liberation fonts.
