Steam Font is glitched
As title says. Sometime yesterday steam font glitched out and fat bold text is now noticably bigger and in some cases doesn't fit in the assigned lines. It really annoying and I have no idea what to do. I would appreciate any help.

Here is a screenshot:

it's your local problem - maybe you have scaling enabled, your local font file replaced, font substitute table broken, etc.

I know it is a local problem but how can I solve it?

I think the easiest way is by navigating yourself to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\resource\
and remove the fonts & styles -folders; then re-launch Steam.exe.

1 reset font scaling in windows desktop settings

2 check fonts ? maybe use windows system restore? - not sure if this will solve the problem without creating new ones (with games installed after the restore point was created)

3 https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3134-TIAL-4638 this will reset client state and settings
4 try use steam client beta
5 wait when someone suggest more useful tips

Ah, thanks for confirming that, I'll make sure not to suggest that again!

Oh snap. It didn't help. I tried everything suggested. It can not be windows related becaues all the fonts in the windows or any other applications appear to be normal. It is dirrectly steam related....

+1, bugged in Waterfox, works fine in Chrome

This is due to Augmented Steam, disabling it fixes the problem. Hope they'll fix that soon, it might be due to changes on Steam's end or on their end.
