Add font fallbacks for compatiblity
MotoFckr9k
Adding additional fallbacks for the fonts used in VRChat, would allow users to still see all names and menus properly, even without having the current restrictive fonts installed.
In practice, this would allow Linux users to see non english characters (e.g. Japanese).
Fallback fonts that I would suggest, would be:
Bank Gothic -> "Ume P Gothic"(for Ubuntu), "UmePlus P Gothic"(for Mandriva), "Takao P Gothic"
Dosis (is available for Linux) -> "UnDotum"(for Ubuntu), "DroidSansFallbackFull"
Of course fonts could also just be shipped with VRChat.
Documentation on fallback fonts is available here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-Font.html

So I am not sure if it was a Proton update, or a VRChat update, or whatever, but the font issue is gone for me. I can see japanese names just fine now.
EDIT: It was a Proton update. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/releases/tag/proton-4.11-3

On the testing I did here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1199#issuecomment-508563896
I tried those fonts as fallback (in notepad) but this combination does not provide all international characters. I was mostly focused on a proof of concept using Japanese as an example.
Having a font like Noto Sans https://www.google.com/get/noto/ as the final fallback would provide at least a wide range of characters, using fonts that look more similar in between.
That said, I hope this gets added.
