font family : arial black
font style : italic
btw, I'm using another browser and I don't have this problem, so I think it's the browser not the system. -

Just because a page works in a browser and not in other, doesn't necessarily mean that the problem is on that other browser. They may not even seeing the same site.

I would provide a link, no problem
but it's in Arabic, coz I don't have problems with english texts.https://www.sama3y.net/forum/showpost.php?p=452022&postcount=29
For me, the text in both of the posts on that page is all squares in both Opera Stable and Opera Beta. Masking as Chrome doesn't help. The latest snapshot of Vivaldi is messed up in the same way. So is Chromium-based Edge and Brave.
Looks fine in Chrome Stable and Opera Developer though. en_US locale in all the browsers and in Windows 10 in my case.
Looks like I might need a Chromium-based browser based on Chromium 82 or newer for things to display right, except for Chrome, which works fine in Chrome Stable, which is based on 81 (Vivaldi latest snapshot is based on 81 and a build newer than Chrome Stable).

What another browser? You shuld verify with Chromium based browsers, like Chrome, Vivaldi, Brave - they use very similar engine.
If those browsers display everything correctly, then maybe you could convince some of your friends to check same sites with Opera Portable - this way you could easily decide between your system and Opera browser problems. -

@burnout426 If I remove style="font-style: italic" on the div the text is in, the Arabic text renders fine in Opera Stable.

@burnout426 I wonder if it's something like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668813#c1 (old Mozilla bug).

Looks like similar issue.
What I didn't notice previously - Arial Black has no italic style variant (in Windows) and this may create problem for Opera (or entire Chromium family).@hamad59
I think You should report this problem using Opera bug report system (Menu - Help - Report an issue... - Report a bug). -
