<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
&gt;=media-libs/freetype-2.10.4 harfbuzz
</blockquote>
<p>Recompile and steam should be working. Hope this helped with this more
obscure error!</p>
