I can view the default Steam webpage and the community page no problem. But the login text is invisible, the My Games screen text is invisible. NOTE – Tahoma font installs properly on Backtrack 4 Pre Release.

The author says it will work under Ubuntu, but it may work under other flavors of Linux. Known issues Wine, Steam & ntfs-3gntfs-3g is a powerful user-mode driver for Linux which is capable of almost all file operations on partitions. Sadly, ntfs-3g and/or Wine are currently unable to work with a NTFS-based installation of Steam. Steam will crash with the following error:“Steam.exe (main exception): Cannot open blob archive file: CMultiFieldBlob(mem-mapped file): Failed to MapViewOfFile”Creating a Symlink to SteamApps on a NTFS partition doesn’t work either. Steam will start up, but your GCFs will get corrupted or – if you’re lucky – Steam only assumes they are corrupted. So you won’t get around having duplicate GCFs for Linux and Windows if you plan on using Steam with both operating systems and having NTFS partitions for Windows, unless you install onto a linux partition from Windows, using something like (in which case you can use the same files in both operating systems).

Update: It seems linking gcfs instead of the folder works. Note: This is not an issue with ntfs-3g specifically, but with FUSE, the userspace filesystem toolkit that ntfs-3g is built on. Any FUSE based filesystem driver will cause these same issues (ex: encfs).Steam and CompositingUsers may experience severe slowdown and lag if they attempt to use Steam under Wine with Compiz installed on their linux machine. The best way to fix this is to run the command.
