After a long battle, I conquered Wine and Steam.

However, the results weren't that glamorous.

How does someone fix such a problem?

You need some fonts, what distribution is that?

Yeah I just realized that. I'm running the Ubuntu distro. I was told on another forum to grab the Tahoma font and put it in my fonts folder.

Thanks for the reply.

So did it work?

How can I get the file into the folder? I mean, I have the tahoma.ttf file here which is the font I need. I throw it in the fonts folder and start steam but I get the same thing. The other fonts in the folder have a lock symbol on the icon, and when I search their properties they belong to the root user group. My tahoma.ttf file belongs to me, Jason. How can I adjust the file so it's like, a useable/valid/activated font so steam will use it when I boot up steam?

Okay. The Tahoma file problem was fixed. But I have yet another problem. The new problem is this. At the login screen for steam, I cannot type any characters into the account name/password boxes. I tried copying and pasting them in, but the password won't paste. How can I fix this?
