Steam on Wine no text

Question

When I launch Steam through Wine, no text is shown, just buttons. I am running Wine version 1.6. How do I fix this?

Answer 1

Open a terminal and enter the command:

wine reg add 'HKCU\Software\Valve\Steam' /v DWriteEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 00000000

This will disable DWrite for only Steam. Alternatively, you can run the following:

wine /path/to/Steam.exe -no-dwrite
