      Hi there!, I've installed the new stable version of opera a while ago and for some reason the menus font looks weird and blurry, I tried to disable all extensions i'm using, Reinstalling, Disabled DirectWrite, Checked fonts settings and it's still the same!.. Not sure what is causing this exactly, Would appreciate if someone could help, Thanks!.

      PS: Here is a screen shot that might explain it more:

        The one on the left looks closer to what the default is but its still not what I'm looking at. That could be because of a screen resolution difference though. The one on the right is totally not correct.

          Yeah i'm totally ok with one in the left (Which is ver.27), Not sure why it looks like that (the one in the right) after upgrading?, Do u know what could be the reason why?

            The font on the right contains serifs (the little bumps and curlies on the end of each stroke for each letter), whereas the one on the left is san-serif (without serifs). That indicates a completely different named font is being pulled up for the display on the right compared with the one on the left. I'm not sure why that would be, however.

                    Similar problem here, all chars went italic (bended).
                    I didn't mess with my settings or touch anything, all happen after the auto-update.

                          No, Not really, And i guess it's a chrome 41 thing not just Opera, Because i tried other chromium based browsers (SRWare Iron and Google Chrome) and it have the same issue too.

                            In Chrome, you should be able to set the default font. See: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95416?hl=en

                                Not sure what you guys try to show here, But i mentioned earlier that i tried changing fonts and encoding settings and it didn't work, It's like it has nothing to do with it..

                                    Update: I was able to fix this issue with some app/tool called "Windows 8 Font Changer", It changes font for caption, menus, etc.. So i picked a different font which is "Ubuntu" (I think "Calibri" or "Segoe UI" would work too) and now it looks as good as it used to be!
