Steam updater - which font is it missing?

I know that when a program appears like this: https://s.iimg.su/s/05/th_v9ehvQlxb3MzpW5yZcKjx60j51Jw0wC4WYUi8ya5.png , it's usually because it's missing a font. But I have no idea which font it's missing. Does anyone here have any idea about the required font?

Try installing lib32-fontconfig, ttf-liberation and wqy-zenhei (for Asian characters), then restart Steam to see whether the problem is solved.

Note:

Steam for Linux does not follow system-level font configurations.[6] Thus, modify user-level configuration if you want change fontconfig for steam.

When Steam cannot find the Arial font, font-config likes to fall back onto the Helvetica bitmap font. Steam does not render this and possibly other bitmap fonts correctly, so either removing problematic fonts or disabling bitmap fonts will most likely fix the issue without installing the Arial or ArialBold fonts. The font being used in place of Arial can be found with the command:

$ fc-match -v Arial
