      Hi all,
      I have a foolish issue for a few weeks, in all the sites I navigate, I can't see the special characters.
      I can't see é, $, à, *, # ecc...
      Why I cannot??? Where is the problem???

      NB Changing page codification to Automatic, or Unicode or Central Europe nothing change!

            The font you use in Opera has no non-ASCII characters. Strange.

            May be this helps:

            1. In Windows Explorer go to Opera's profile folder
            2. backup file operaprefs.ini
            3. delete file operaprefs.ini
            4. restart Opera

            May be you have a problem with hardware accelaration of you graphic card.
            Disable with opening <tt>opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableHardwareAcceleration</tt>

                  These:
                  https://addons.opera.com/it/extensions/
                  https://www.kickstarter.com/

                  I think where sites not using own fonts!

                    The issue if characters change is encoding. The page is using Unicode (UTF-8) while you are set to override the encoding and use a non-Unicode encoding.

                    Make sure that menu > Page > Encoding has "Automatic Selection" selected and not some other setting.
