So, i installed steam by adding the emerge repo, and installing steam-meta.

when running steam, the UI was a mess of seemingly random unicode characters:

when running from the command line, this was the output:
Code:

Code:
WARNING: setlocale('en_US.UTF-8') failed, using locale: 'C'. International characters may not work.

That looks suspicious...

Please show us the output of:
Code:
locale

Code:
locale -a

Code:
localectl

Code:
cat /etc/locale.gen

Code:
export | egrep "(LC|LANG)"

Does any of the ideas in https://www.reddit.com/r/voidlinux/comments/htzwlo/steam_font_problem/ help (installing fontconfig-32bit or removing ~/.local/share/Steam/config/config.vdf' and not checking the 'Remember Me' option)?

You may also want to install x11-misc/appmenu-gtk-module to get rid of the message:
Code:
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"

tried removing the mentioned file, didn't help.

i can't find how to install fontconfig-32bit, searching in emerge only returns the regular version which is already installed.

x11-misc/appmenu-gtk-module is installed, so i don't know why that error is showing up

You should see if abi_x86_32 use flag is set
Code:
[ebuild   R    ] media-libs/fontconfig-2.13.1-r2:1.0::gentoo  USE="-doc -static-libs" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" 0 KiB
                                                                                                    ^^^
