Proton 7.0-6

Tested in Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop, but it also works in any other Source 1 game that has italicized closed captions.

Repro steps:

  1. (On the beta branch of appid 563560)
  2. Enable full closed captions in audio settings.
  3. Start the first level (Jacob's Rest: Landing Bay)
  4. Walk through the level until you reach a locked door. (No enemies spawn before this point on Normal difficulty.) Punch the door by pressing right mouse button or B on a controller.
  5. The caption [Door hit] has every letter missing pieces on Proton, which is not the case on Windows.

Alternative repro steps:

In any Source 1 game, trigger a caption that has <I> in it.
