      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.
