<p>This is a quick post on how to fix this error with the steam overlay on
|
||
|
|
gentoo:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<blockquote>./steamwebhelper: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libfreetype.so.6: undefined symbol: hb_ot_tags_from_script_and_language</blockquote>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This has to do with an error with freetype, a font rendering service.
|
||
|
|
Chances are if you are seeing this error in the terminal when launching steam
|
||
|
|
nothing is rendering either. Pages most likely are a black or grey. To fix this
|
||
|
|
issue, you have to mask the latest version of freetype. Modify your
|
||
|
|
package.mask file as shown:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<blockquote class="code-block">#File: /etc/portage/package.mask
|
||
|
|
=media-libs/freetype-2.11.0
|
||
|
|
</blockquote>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You might also have to add this to your package.use when attempting to
|
||
|
|
recompile freetype</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<blockquote class="code-block">#File: /etc/portage/package.use/media-libs
|
||
|
|
>=media-libs/freetype-2.10.4 harfbuzz
|
||
|
|
</blockquote>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Recompile and steam should be working. Hope this helped with this more
|
||
|
|
obscure error!</p>
