that's still assuming their why - if you're really concerned on why it's the wrong thing to do, ask why they're trying

we scream from the rooftops "don't use microsoft fonts in linux" and then we have to support the users they created by ignoring us for years down the line

well, do what you want, just don't bring that negative vibe here. It's just fonts the world isn't going to explode, we're not bringing that old school linux vibe here.

i think you maybe missed the part where i didn't say anything beyond
- no you can't use the rpm anymore
- you need to rip it from the iso and use modern fonts to work with modern distros
until somebody else made it personal and started interrogating me about the subject

Try to be as direct as possible with this because it's going to change my recommendation

Yuri Fernandes

Yuri Fernandes•6/26/24, 2:29 AM

its actually just for old source 1 multiplayer games

Ah, for those I actually recommend that you just force proton

Yuri Fernandes

Yuri Fernandes•6/26/24, 2:30 AM

i cant

Kyle Gospo

Kyle Gospo•6/26/24, 2:30 AM

Not only will it fix the fonts, but it will still work with vac unlike modern TF2

Yuri Fernandes

for it to work, I just need the mscorefonts

Yuri Fernandes

and it will work

Distrobox would work

Kyle Gospo

Load up something that has what you need and install steam in it to run CS:S

Yuri Fernandes

Yuri Fernandes•6/26/24, 2:31 AM

the game runs here, btw

Yuri Fernandes

Yuri Fernandes•6/26/24, 2:32 AM

i can play multiplayer and even install custom content

Kyle Gospo

Kyle Gospo•6/26/24, 2:32 AM

Option two since fonts don't really change is you could find an old RPM for the MS core font

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•6/26/24, 2:32 AM

It would likely still layer, but I can't guarantee it will work or not break other things

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•6/26/24, 2:32 AM

Distrobox is definitely your best bet

Pez

P

PezOP•6/26/24, 2:32 AM

i wasn't sure about that recommendation so at least this works, but it's sketchy

Due to that requirement, yeah

I haven't heard of anyone installing core fonts to fix CSS though, can you take a pic of what you're seeing?

Kyle Gospo•6/26/24, 2:34 AM

There were numerous mods back in the day that changed the HUD and fonts and all that

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•6/26/24, 2:34 AM

Very possible this could be fixed on that side
