<![CDATA[Weird symbols replace text. Pic attached.]]>Hello Opera Community!
This is my first post. I have been having an ongoing issue that brings me here. Some websites display symbols of letter's rather than the actual letters. Check out the pic. I would love to hear your thoughts on this, hopefully it's an easy fix. Thanks for your time.

If you see it on every website - including this one - then it is something else, since MyOpera does not use web fonts.

You have a problem with web fonts (downloadable fonts).
Opera 12.12 randomly displays the wrong font on a webpage

Most likely they'll be listed as something like Times New Roman and Consolas (respectively). Are those fonts working correctly on your system - especially the monospace font? It's also possible that certain pages' "specified" fonts are misbehaving on your system. What you're getting seems to look much like a Wingding font, or something similar, for many (but not all) portions of the page.

FYI, using 12.14, all three of the pages you reference look fine on my system.

• How to post about problems with specific sites

An active link to the page is important if we are to reproduce the issue. We should not have to figure it out the site and the page from the screen shot.
