Yes. Unfortunately too many people opened topics rather than searching for existing open topics. Often one of the newer might grab attention first for showing in recent list and replies occur there. Some of the older get lost in the shuffle and/or it just gets annoying to constantly repeat the same answers so there’s a bit of silence.
This is a known issue that the team is working on addressing presently:
Also should reference a week before this topic was opened:
Hi ! Just discovered this so … If you’re using linux, like I do (PopOS 22.04 LTS) then you need to use the gnome tweaks utility and change the font from Fira Sans to something else then restart browser (the downside is that it changes the font of the whole gnome interface … but at least Brave is readable again ) … It seems that there’s a problem with that font rendering in Brave !
Key thing is, it’s being looked into.
