Fonts aren't working correctly in Steam and Source games
I'm running bazzite-nvidia-open with KDE and both steam and games like Left 4 Dead 2 and TF2 have this weird default text instead of their normals. I've already tried to download some of those MS Font packages, I did one through DistroBox and then ended up dumping ALL of my font files from my Windows install into /home/bazzite/.fonts/ like i found online but it still is broken. Not sure what to do from here

looks like it might just boil down to a difference in how Windows renders fonts compared to linux

try
~/.local/share/fontschucked them all in there and did
fc-cache -fv but no dice
oh wait in terminal there's a bunch that say 'skipping, looped directory detected'
they do show up in font management though
all active
i might give her a quick restart, see if that does anything
if there are symlink maybe try removing it
i don't believe there's any, how do i check?
you can use find, but just noticed that most of looped dir are outside the local one
it should be good
