I've only noticed this since today's (August 14) client update. When text is kerned in such a way that characters overlap, Steam just cuts the left one off on the right side. Observe:
As you can easily see, the P in "PAUSE" is cut off causing it to look like "FAUSE". The A in "PLAY" is slightly clipped as well.
