Error - Check failed: InitDefaultFont(). Could not find the default font

[Lakshmi Narayanan]

Hi All,

We are getting an error when the chrome driver starts.

We have 2 users and this works fine with one of the users and with another user it is throwing this error.  This looks like some permission issue, but we are not sure and would need help.

This is an older version of chrome driver and this was working fine, before we rebooted the linux server.
