Yes, I had a similar problem last time I tried to install Opera. All my pages were being rendered with some strange script font instead of Arial or Verdana, it was totally unusable. I tried reassigning the fonts through the settings but it made no difference, I couldn't track down any posts online about other people that had the same problem.
I'm on Windows XP home version, all service packs installed. I also have the Adobe Font Folio installed, so in excess of 1000 fonts or so. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ben Buchanan Sent: Tuesday, 27 June 2006 10:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WSG] Opera 9 and standards support > Not related to a site, but to the application itself: admittedly, I have > quite a large number of fonts installed on my WinXP box...but for some > reason, Opera 9 (and even 8.5) somehow get confused and think > Copperplate is actually Verdana, and a rather gothic looking blackletter > font is Tahoma. In short, it chooses the completely wrong fonts (both > for page display and UI itself). Is this a known issue? Hmm, there was a font selection problem for machines with more than 1024 fonts installed; but that was supposed to have been fixed in the Windows version (see http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/windows/900/ right at the bottom). You could try the 9.01 weekly build and see if that helps - http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/ One note is that if you had a beta installed, I've found it's a good idea to uninstall that beta before installing the final version (as opposed to upgrading over the top). cheers, Ben -- --- <http://www.200ok.com.au/> --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ****************************************************** ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ****************************************************** ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
