Brave suppresses all web fonts and shows everything in Avenir

When I navigate to a web site, my Brave Browser overrides all web fonts of any page and replaces the web site’s font with the Avenir typeface. Even when I go to a typography web site to look at different typefaces, Brave never lets me see them.

How can I stop Brave from suppressing and overriding web fonts on web pages?

Please edit your Original Post (“OP”) above, in order to include:

  • Brave Browser version numbers
  • Operating System version numbers

Create a new user Profile for Testing:

Create and use AN ADDITIONAL Brave Browser user Profile (Menu --> More tools --> Add profile) - only ← meaning: Do not have any other Brave Browser user Profile tabs/windows open.

When creating this new Brave Browser user Profile for test purposes

  • Do not import anything.
  • Do not add any extensions.
  • Do not allow/enable any Brave Browser “bells and whistles” such as Brave Rewards, Brave Talk, etc.

IF this test Brave Browser user Profile does not present your problem, then possibly, the profile that you have been using, has a problem . . . and that might be caused by one or more extensions, or too many tabs ← complex/conundrum.


Detailed info about testing - IF, in regard to memory and performance issues:

Create a new profile to help Troubleshoot

Extensions Tests:
  • test by disabling all extensions
  • test by enabling each extension individually
  • test by uninstalling all extensions
  • test by installing each extension individually
  • test combinations of extensions
  • test order of installation of extensions

Yea, we need a LOT more info. We don’t know your platform or Brave version.

In general, Brave does not override fonts, and should not be doing that. Even in Desktop Brave, customize font doesn’t really have a way to override anything, this just sets the default for sites that don’t specify a font.

I can only assume you installed an extension that’s doing this.

@patrickholzer if you can provide the information that was requested in the editor when you opened this thread that would be helpful.

I suspect that @MasterLink is correct here and you have an installed extension that is causing this issue.

Wanted to test anyway so went to the first result I saw and seems to be working fine:
