AFAIK there are two ways to fix this:

- Replace the device font(s) with fonts that support all the glyphs

you need. Downside is that as your font metrics are different,

strings may not fit into screen, widget sizes may change etc.

- Add support to Browser for rendering the text using glyphs from

multiple fonts. Gtk does this automatically with Pango (i.e.

things work automatically for normal applications), but I

don't think Browser is using that

Thanks a lot for the reply. I'm not too thrilled with the idea of replacing the font that Nokia carefully made work for all screens with some random font of mine. Since Opera is closed source I don't think there's anyway to change that either, right? I guess this leaves me without very many options.

Oh well... other than the font issue, (which is huge to me) this device is quite nice. Maybe someday Nokia will release a firmware update with the option of a larger install footprint but with multilingual fonts.
