Like CSGO, CS2 uses FontConfig which is not widely used on Windows at all. It seems that it is not fully supported or maybe even modified. Since the configuration is simply wrong according to the official documentation of Fontconfig

It is hard to tell if this is planned or will change in the future.
My solution is to fix the fontconfig.conf and apply my target font with an additional entry to all texts.
No valve font will be deleted and a backup of the fontconfig.conf will be created first.
