I've recently came from LInux MInt 18.3 to XUbuntu 18.04 and installed garry's mod and other source games via steam. When I launch it, some russian texts disappear. There is no problems in garry's mod menu, only while playing, but even in main menu in portal 2.
no russian text at all in garry's modnice portal 2 menu



Output (garry's mod) (too big to paste directly): https://pastebin.com/29e7XSQQ



I use nvidia-drivers-396 drivers with cinnamon. Same problem appear both in fullscreen and windowed modes.



There wasn't any problems on my old mint 18.3. How can I fix it?

I've not testing this, but there is no risk to try the following process.



Enable russian caracters encoding



dpkg-reconfigure locales


Tick the one named ru_RU.UTF-8. Finally restart your computer to ensure the new locale is available in all tty and try again your game.

  • ru_RU.UTF-8 is already checked.

Thanks to steam support and forums, solution is here:



Add follwing to ~/.fonts.conf (create if doesn't exist):



<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
…
<!-- fix source games cyrillics -->
<match target="pattern">
<test name="family" qual="any" >
<string>Helvetica</string>
</test>
<edit name="family" mode="assign" binding="same">
<string>Nimbus Sans L</string>
</edit>
</match>
…
</fontconfig>
