      I hate fonts where you can't tell the difference between LlIi1 (ell, eye and one). In most fonts, capital eye and lower case ell are just a straight line. I finally found a non-serif proportional font that does it properly, Verdana, only to find when I set Opera to use this, it doesn't, as every web page has chosen its own bad font. Can I make Opera override it? Googling it only tells me how to do it in other browsers.

        @hucker You need to use an extension for that.

          Can you recommend one? I want all fonts on web pages to become Verdana.

              @hucker I usually mention Stylus, though I have never used it myself.

                @sgunhouse @hucker Stylus is now outdated and to use it you have to wait for hours for a website to load. Userstyles.org (the website where Stylus uses to install themes) is ridiculously slow, often timing out. There is an archive that would probably work: https://33kk.github.io/uso-archive/ . There is also another website: https://freestyler.ws/. Try these, they should work

                  I'm using Stylebot for changing visual styles (I have yet to change fonts however), but you have to alter many styles on most pages - and you likely need to understand CSS either. Often there are tens, if not hundreds of font declarations on even simply looking pages.
                  About extension for changing all fonts at once I have no knowledge.

                  One little problem - even if created for web, Verdana is quite wide font and you may distort many good-looking pages this way.
