Guys, you do NOT need a Tahoma compatible font, as I just discovered. You can
have any font you like, the Tahoma font is only required by the default Steam skin.

You can edit the skin easily by editing the steamscheme.res file using gedit or
some other such editing program. Just do a search and replace for "Tahoma" and
replace it with a font you know you have installed. Save the file, and restart
steam (if you had it running). No more searching for fonts, no more scratching
heads. I too had tried downloading the tahoma.ttf and it just simply didn't work
for me. This way works though - the only trouble is finding a font that suits
you. Times New Roman (which I have it set to at the mo), looks horrible, but it
is readable, which I guess is better than nothing.
