As you can see the text on the Linux client is smaller and more difficult to read. This bug is probably related to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/1035
Unlike that bug, the text in CS:S is actually smaller, not just thiner.
The fonts themselves display fine, but the issue difficulty of reading. Entire words and sentences become almost completely unreadable on Linux for me whereas they would be clear on Windows.
