Opera for WindowsRE: [Solved]Opera suddenly uses italics only
Yes tried reboot and checked the font settings. I suspect a reinstall might fix the problem but due to Opera's pathetic handling of bookmarks, I'm not keen to do this. That is, until I've somehow saved them.

Opera for Windows[Solved]Opera suddenly uses italics only
This afternoon, after I turned my computer back on after lunch, Opera suddenly started using italics only. Eg in FaceBook -- every thing is in italics. Using latest version of Opera, Windows 8 pro operating system, screen font set to arial. This morning everything was fine. Totally bizarre and irritating. Any help greatly appreciated.
