      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.
