      The Armenian letters became squares in Opera 25.0.1614.31.

      On the tab bar, address bar, status bar, tooltips they are displayed correctly.

        Is there the "Web-pages" section in your settings?
        Try changing the fonts. I'm using DejaVu and Arial.

          I have the same font configuration in Opera 25 as in 24. In 24 everything is normal with Armenian letters.

            Changing encoding (OMenu > Page > Encoding) makes any difference?

              No. The Encoding is Unicode UTF-8 as it need to be. I've tried to change, but it does not help.

                Could you paste the link to the page here? I've tried http://hy.wikipedia.org/ here and it seems ok.

                Btw, it happens all the times? On all pages?

                  Here is the link http://hy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Օպերա_(դիտարկիչ)
                  It happens on most pages.
                  Here are some pages where problem exists: www.akumb.am www.yerevan.am/am/ www.1in.am www.edu.am www.itel.am/am/ facebook.com (with Armenian language) etc.
                  These pages showing correctly: news.am/arm/ www.lia.am/hy.htm

                  I've installed Opera 25 on another computer (I'm installing it with Stand-alone option, but I do not think that this matter) and here is the same problem.

                    Let me amend your link (using HTML):
                    Is this it?

                        I've checked some of those links and they seemed ok here.in the sense of not being displaying squares.

                        My fonts are Time News Roman for Standard and Serif; Arial for Sans-serif and Consolas for Fixed-width. Default enconding is Western European (Iso 8859-1).

                          Well, I see two relevant elements in the <head>:

                          <meta charset="UTF-8" />
                          and

                          <style>a:lang(ar),a:lang(kk-arab),a:lang(mzn),a:lang(ps),a:lang(ur){text-decoration:none} /* cache key: hywiki:resourceloader:filter:minify-css:7:72e50a08e3f3a95d49ffc899024cfb2d */</style>.

                            Here are some other screenshots (click for full size).

                            On the first screenshot there are squares after text "Armenian", but I would like to notice that some other languages in this list also displaying squares instead of native letters (Full list: Amharic, Armenian, Bengali, Georgian, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Kannada, Khmer, Lao, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Tigrinya.)

                            I've checked some of those links and they seemed ok here.in the sense of not being displaying squares.
                            My fonts are Time News Roman for Standard and Serif; Arial for Sans-serif and Consolas for Fixed-width. Default enconding is Western European (Iso 8859-1).

                            I have the same font and encoding configuration.
                            What is your operating system?
                            I'm using Windows 7.

                              Where did you get your nuOpera and was your 25 install a regular update?
                              What do other browsers show in your Windows 7?

                                I've downloaded the latest beta version from opera.com. Previous build has the same problem.

                                All other browsers (Opera 24, Opera 12, Firefox, IE11, Chrome) showing all Armenian letters normally. Only Opera beta 25 and Opera developer 26 displaying squares.

                                  Have you tried disabling direct write on opera:flags?

                                    It helped! Thanks.

                                    I do not understand why it is activated by default, if it is an experimental feature?

                                      Good to know.

                                      When the experiment reachs a certain stage and is considered stable ehough, it's enabled by default so there is more people testing it.

                                          The same problem is by me, opera shows squares instead of Armenian letters, the fonts in other languages have been also changed. This happened after opera's self-update to 25, I have changed encoding and fonts but nothing helped, any ideas else?
