Steam games not using the set `font_file=`

[Kagukara]

Describe the bug Games launched via Steam (including non-steam games) aren't using the set font in font_file= of the config file.

I have tested this with GW2, which I can launch via both Steam and Bottles. Via Steam it doesn't use the set font, but via Bottles it does.

Adding GW2 via non-steam game also doesn't use the set font.

List relevant hardware/software information

• OS: Arch Linux
• MangoHud version: v0.7.1-rc1-4-g971791d
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (radeonsi, navi31, LLVM 18.0.0, DRM 3.54, 6.6.8-arch1-1)
• GPU Driver: 4.6 Mesa 24.0.0-devel (git-551924aa87)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add or make sure mangohud %command% is set in the 'Launch Options' of a Steam game.
2. Add or make sure a custom font is set for font_file= in your MangoHud.conf file.
3. Launch the Steam game
4. Check MangoHud
5. Close game
6. Launch a game not using Steam with mangohud %command% set in whatever you're using to launch the game.
7. Check MangoHud
8. Close game

Expected behavior I expect the font I set in font_file= of my config file to work for all games no matter the launcher.

This is likely because the steam runtime container does not have access to the font file. Try placing it somewhere in your home directory instead

Placing the font file in my home directory and editing the path of font_file= to the new directory didn't fix it.

Ignore me, I had the wrong name. That worked thank you.
