Steam UI not loading/rendering

Hi everyone,
If anyone comes across this issue post update you may wish to check a few things:
launch steam from a shell/console and look for: /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6: undefined symbol: hb_ot_tags_from_script_and_language
If you see that, then an update to freetype has broken steam and one option available is to opt-in to steam beta… the other is to downgrade freetype. Neither is ideal, but Steam->Settings->Account reveals the opt-in dialogue (a drop down), it’s about 250Mb and after restarting steam you should be good. Downgrading packages is not officially recommended.

Just wanted to chime in. I just had this issue and opting in to beta solved it. Thank you!
