(Sorry, I moved the topic to the appropriate forum and deleted the previous entry) <img src="https://forums.opera.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/emoji-one/1f614.png?v=ffrjq97ccbo" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-emoji-one emoji--pensive_face" title=":pensive_face:" alt="😔" /></p>
<p dir="auto">I have been trying for <strong>a long time</strong> to solve the problem with <strong>strange fonts on some websites</strong> (sample image below), but without success. Instead of normal text there is an unordered string of letters, numbers or special characters appears. Most often it's a bold font, most likely Helvetica. This is hard for me to determine it, because the development tools often don't work on these sites, but the font for the entire site is usually defined as "Helvetica, Arial, Sans Serif...".<br />
I dug through (literally) Opera's help. I searched dozens of forums. <strong>I didn't find such a problem</strong> anywhere, and no advice on similar problems - blurry font, rectangles instead of fonts, etc. - <strong>didn't help</strong> .<br />
I uninstalled Opera too, with all its components and reinstalled it - no avail.<br />
The problem is <strong>identical in the Chrome</strong>.  <img src="https://forums.opera.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/emoji-one/1f620.png?v=ffrjq97ccbo" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-emoji-one emoji--angry_face" title=":angry_face:" alt="😠" /><br />
In other browsers (Safari, Mozilla) the text is displayed correctly.<br />
I have no idea what to do with this problem.<br />
I'm asking for help - I don't want to change the browser I've been using for years and have been very happy with it so far!</p>
<p dir="auto">P.S. Please <strong>don't</strong> give advice, e.g. regarding changing the font in Opera's settings - changing it <strong>doesn't</strong> work.<br />
Similarly, uninstalling add-ons <strong>doesn't</strong> work. Restoring factory settings <strong>didn't</strong> help.<br />
<strong>Such simple solutions don't work</strong> here and it's a waste of writing and reading such instructions. Thank you very much. <img src="https://forums.opera.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/emoji-one/1f64f.png?v=ffrjq97ccbo" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-emoji-one emoji--folded_hands" title=":folded_hands:" alt="🙏" /></p>

What finally fixed it for me was going into Font Book on my Mac and checking for any duplicate or weird versions of Helvetica<br />
I found some duplicates and disabled them<br />
Then I ran sudo atsutil databases -remove in Terminal to clear the font cache and restarted my Mac<br />
After that, fonts started showing normally in Opera again</p>
<p dir="auto">Seems like it’s more of a macOS font issue than an Opera problem<br />
Hope this helps you too</p>
