For steam beta UI users..

..here is something you might like!

It basically changes all your fonts to tf2 fonts.

Some of you may have noticed the Steam's new beta design. And once you've turned it on, you'll never put it back. Of course -it's so awesome! So, I don't want you to change the design, I want to show you a way to change the fonts! These exact fonts fit Steam perfectly and also make it a lot of "TF2 themed".

Also fixes the "No-Text" problem in Steam's new design.

Now, let me show you how to do it.

Step 0

-Activate Steam beta design!!!
To do this you need to go to Settings > Beta Participations > Steam UI beta

-I'm not sure about this, but you better restart your Steam now.

Step 1: Getting fonts.
*Skip this if you already have TF2 fonts installed.

-Go to Steam\SteamApps\[Your Name]\team fortress 2\tf\resource

-Copy files "tf2 build" and "tf2 secondary" somewhere (like Desktop). You may want to copy all of those

-Go to Control Panel > Fonts > File > Install Font

-Open the location where you copied you files.

-Install the fonts.

Step 2: Configuring Steam files.

-Go to \Steam\resource\styles

-Open steam.styles with notepad or text editor.
Some people had problems here, so I'll explain. You open Notepad (or Wordpad) and just drag the steam.styles file there, like if it was a folder. Feel free to ask if you don't understand.

-Change:

Code:
// cool we can define font-families here as well
basefont="Arial"
basefontbold="Arial Bold"
To

Code:
// cool we can define font-families here as well
basefont="TF2 Secondary"
basefontbold="TF2 Build"
-Save changes (File > Save) and restart Steam and enjoy your new fonts!

PS: You can change the fonts to whatever you like, but some of them are of wrong size and don't fit into the boxes, so be careful.

! The fix itself is suggested by Roots, here, on Steam Forums. Link: http://forums.steampowered.com/forum....php?t=1159147

Good luck!

PS. Thanks to Xelas for helping me make the OP more clear.

I DIDN'T MAKE THIS. IT WAS MADE BY DwarfVaderRus ON STEAM FORUMS.

Segoe UI ftw

You all just fail, either coolvetica for bolded areas and helvetica for standard text, or Calibri

Helvetica is designed for print and Calibri looks shit on interfaces. Segoe UI is just awesome
