This account font business is a Forum Admin job to sort out, not mine. On any other Forum, the Moderator or Admin would have fixed it in seconds.

Hell, the damned thing came up in Turkish, then when I logged on, went to squares.

And this is the language you have chosen to use on the forums?

"And this is the language you have chosen to use on the forums?"

Of course I never. I chose ENGLISH and the Opera font catastrophe is nothing to do with me. It seems odd that the rest of the world is perfectly happy with my PC configuration and not a font hiccup in sight. This thread so far is going nowhere, it is about time somebody on this immaculate, Adminless and Moderatorless Forum got their finger out and fixedwhat is obviously a very minor site font problem for one of their members.

Please leocg, if you cannot be helpful and constructive, dont post. My God, I dont know why I am wasting my time. I guess it is that I do not like being beaten.

Wittmann, really?

Something is not right, and you don't think it should keep that way.
Right, but try focussing on the Forum here: nobody ever raised such a problem as you has shown now; moderators there are, they moderate. People answered to your call, trying to figure out what was going on.
Myself personally never bumped into such fonts trouble here, nobody else I remember. In your case I see, something has messed up there; aren't we trying to figure out the pertinence of this issue? Leo said right - it is essential to understand what is the location of the problem: is it your OS/OS settings? is it the browser? is it the site? something else? a combination of some of the above?
Never having heard of such one, I reckon if a combination, the one must be extremely rare. Try to help us figure out how to help you, o'k?

So the problem happens even with forum language set to English?

Well, as you seem to be the only one with this problem then the chances of the cause to be on your side is high.

Please leocg, if you cannot be helpful and constructive, dont post

I'm being helpful.

You posted on the wrong forum, using a topic title that does not refkect your real problem and even so me and others tried to understand the issue and try help you.

As long as the forum rules are respected, anyone can reply in any post like you it or not.

Just forget it chaps, I`ll manage.

I ask a question why your font settings have gone haywire and all you can do is infer it is my fault. Incredible !

I have already said it once and obviously you cannot understand, so here it is again - the entire computer industry of Planet Earth have NO problems with my system or many hundreds of programs. I have NEVER seen squares pop up instead of text in 12 years of deep Internet activity, ONLY in lieu of Chinese symbols.

Well done chaps. I will keep the crap accoungt for general reasons, but I will never use your Forum again.

You say you have an Admin and Moderators, then why did they not cure this elementary font mismatch 1 minute after I mentioned it in my post ?

No one who have replied on this topic is a forum admin or developer, so even if it was the problem, none of us could have answered.

If i undestood cirrectly, you are not having the issue on other browsers. And as no other person seems to be facing the same issue in Opera, i guess we can discard a problem in the forums.

So it lead us to something on your side and to try to help you, we need you to answer:

what version of Opera is being used?
which OS is being used?
if you use any extensions, have you tried with them disabled?
have you tried cleaning the cookies for the forums?

Thanks a million for your kind comments and restraint, you are a perfect gentleman.

My frustration boiled over into anger at this problem and my posts show it. The entire matter is a simple systems font hiccup, these things do occur with computers for no apparent reason, but are easily corrected by a site Admin or Moderator.

I had to write this note after my kicking off so badly, because I have now solved the matter in the way thousands of plodding computer buffs do - cancel the account and start a new one.

This I have done and everything is now OK.

I have canceled "Wittmann" and created a new account under "johnbull44". Everything is now working perfectly - no more damned Chinese squares.

So now the feathers have settled, let us hope all will be peaceful.

For the record, leocg and I are both moderators, but we have no powers over forum layout and fonts and such. We can edit or delete post which violate the rules or even ban users who post spam, but that's about it. That's what the gavel badge below our avatar represents.

Opera Software has to follow Norwegian privacy laws, I'm not certain if that would allow them to poke around in your profile to fix this issue.

Thank you Sgunhouse for the explanation. I am happy now and my new account is working perfectly.
