Details

Description:
Installing the `steam` package on a fresh Arch system causes it to have missing text: the login screen and top-bar menu do not have any text.
The reason is that the `steam` package uses the liberation font, but does not declare a dependency on it so it fails to display the text when the font is missing. Installing the `ttf-liberation` package manually fixes the issue.
The `steam` package should declare an explicit dependency on the `ttf-liberation` package.

Additional info:
* package version(s): 1.0.0.64-1
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
1. Remove `ttf-liberation`
2. Start steam: there is no text at all on the login screen
This task depends upon

I cannot reproduce the issue.
Is it still valid?

I'm not able to reproduce it either.

I no longer have a fresh system at hand so I cannot check if the issue is resolved or not. It is possible that newer versions of Steam embed their font directly (or has a fallback).

At the time when I reported this bug, I just had a fresh install with only KDE and steam (and nothing else).
