Description

Brave Browser renders fonts from Windows partition since I always have my windows partition mounted in Linux Mint. It renders Helvetica condensed font and other fonts which are not system defaults. This problem is not seen in Mozilla firefox though. Also this has been a problem for a long time ( Many months and many builds updated) and this keeps me not touch brave but today thought of finding a soluton.
Both Firefox & brave are installed through ppa.

Proof to see Brave uses Windows Partition:

  2. Relaunch Brave
  3. Fonts from Windows partition back again

Actual result:

Brave Fonts
Brave Fonts 2

Expected result:

Brave Fonts after unmount
Brave Fonts after unmount 2

Unmounted Proof:

Reproduces how often:

Unmounting Windows partition gives you correct fonts.
