Steam Friends Font Fix Quick fix to read the very small names in steam buddy list running Ubuntu 9.10 and Wine wine-1.1.33 (should work with other versions of Linux and Wine) Before: After: Gnome: gedit ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam/resource/steamscheme.res KDE: kate ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam/resource/steamscheme.res Find the section called " FriendsSmall " Change "tall" "12" to "tall" "13" Find the section called " FriendsVerySmall " Change "tall "12" to "tall" "13" Save the file and restart steam . *Note: This file gets reset after a steam update, so make a copy of it. *Note: If you don't use the default dark green theme, find the "steamscheme.res" file in your skins --> resource folder for the appropriate skin. -Tres
