      Fonts of tabs, address bar, and context menu become too tiny to be readable after updating to Opera 43.0.2442.806 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS & 16.04 LTS.

        Сегодня обновился до 43 стабильной версии и вот беда: шрифт элементов окна браузера (вкладки и всплывающие меню) стал очень мелким, НЕЧИТАЕМЫМ.
        Грешил на ubuntu - но размер системных шрифтов меню окна устанавливается нормально.
        Пролазил все настройки Оперы - НИЧЕГО не нашел.
        Кстати, в Chrome версии 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit) и ниже (не помню когда шрифт тоже изменился, примерно 3 месяца как, не скажу с какой версией) тоже мелкие, но решения проблемы не искал, сильно хромом не пользуюсь.
        ПОМОГИТЕ, последнего браузера лишают!

            Having the same issue on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. At first I thought it was just my monitor, but it's kinda nice (ironically) to see that it's not and that it's not just me.

            It seems like it's just a size or two too small.

              Update: just disconnected from that external monitor and restarted my laptop. Now it looks fine.

              Huh.

                  I am also having this problem, very annoying! Restarting does nothing.

                    Same here.
                    Running opera 43 following auto-update.
                    Ubuntu 14.04 TLS.
                    Font of address bar and bookmarks unreadable!

                    I don't know any answer to the problem yet... Please update, because it makes this otherwise AWESOME browser quasi unusable at the moment!

                      I have the same small font. I looks like the font is two size smaller and not sharp. It looks ugly.

                      My System:

                      Arch Linux
                      Opera 43.0.2442.806-1

                        I too have the same problem after I updated to Opera 43.0.2442.806 on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (x86_64; MATE). Having a hi-res monitor makes it very difficult to read Opera's Tabs and Menus. I didn't have this problem before this update.

                        I hope it gets fix soon or I'm have to dual-boot to Windows 8.1Pro which doesn't have this issue with Opera.

                        Thanks for a GREAT Browser!!

                                Found the proper fix. I followed this answer in this stackoverflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41907095/font-size-of-bookmarks-and-tabs-got-small-for-chrome-in-ubuntu-16-04

                                Find the line
                                {code}Exec=opera %U{code}

                                And replace with
                                {code}Exec=opera --force-device-scale-factor=1 %U{code}

                                Restart opera and viola!

                                  Good for Linux Users

                                  Thx for sharing

                                  This solution does not apply for windows, so, we will wait.

                                    Oh yes. I forgot to add, the fix I mentioned was only for Ubuntu.

                                      Thanks Devlin, It Fixed it.

                                      What I did...

                                      sudo nano /usr/share/applications/opera.desktop

                                      and followed your code replacements...

                                      Find the line {code}Exec=opera %U{code}

                                      And replace with {code}Exec=opera --force-device-scale-factor=1 %U{code}

                                      Restart opera and viola!

                                      I have Opera on the Ubuntu panel and it started with small text. But from the Application Menu, Opera started with the correct font size so I removed the Opera from the panel and replied it back to the panel and all is good again.
