In case anyone is interested, I found a post on VHDLWhiz that helped me get Quartus ModelSim Starter Edition (should work for any release) on Ubuntu 20.04. It covers adding 32-bit architecture support, installing a number of 32-bit libraries, modifying modelsim's VCO script to force 32-bit, adding a 32-bit library directory, updating the script with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to said directory, and finally compiling and installing a font library there. Worked reliably on Ubuntu 18.04 as well.
These instructions should be incorporated into Intel's installation documentation.
