I've installed wine 0.9.59 and Steam. I've copied the Tahoma.ttf font to windows/fonts directory and I still can't see the writing in Steam. What should I do?

What should I do?What locale are you using (what language)? Have you tried moving ~/.wine directory aside (mv ~/.wine ~/.wine-old) and installing steam again?

How have you installed Wine? Did you compile it from the source? I have the same issue when I compile Wine myself, the Tahoma font is in the Windows/fonts directory yet the text in Steam is not displayed. However, if I uninstall Wine from the source and re-install using APT (I'm using Debian) and re-run Steam, all the text is visible and all is well. The only downside to this is not being able to use the most up-to-date release of Wine until the packages have been distributed for Debian. If anyone has any suggestions as to why this is, pleas elet me know. ...Am I missing something in building the source? I just use the ./tools/wineinstall process Thanks
