Carried over from brave/browser-laptop#2324

@stanleyxu2005:

I'm using Brave 0.10.4 on Win7. I really love this application. I notice one optical issue: The font of Win7 is usually "Segoe UI 9pt", but I guess Brave uses "Arial" or something else overall on Tab, Menu, Adressbar and Bookmark Toolbar.

Do you mind to use system font by default?

@leavehouse:

+1 from me. Chrome and all Chrome-based alternative browsers (like Brave) have this defect, and it's quite annoying. I'm on Ubuntu and use a system font size of 14, but Brave doesn't respect this for tab titles or the address bar, so the text is unreadably small.

Font rendering and customization provide additional info which can be used for fingerprinting. Let's be careful not to make things worse when we implement this.

AFAIK we are using default system fonts for the UI. The difference may be that we are not scaling the whole UI per a system font setting, or even a built-in scale setting. If that is indeed a feature request then that can probably be opened separately.
