Bookmark topic
Hi.. this might be a newbie question.. but I just got my Opera browser to work in my P910i. While the internet connection works fine, the display shows an unreadable font! My System font (as checked in Sman) is SwissA. In Opera preferences/display, encoding is set on "Autodetect" and on Europe Western (Windows-12...). What am I doing wrong? Anyone?

update: I have the same probleme
If freetype.dll is install on the phone and if you have for example 3 or 4 font who are 30ko 40ko 50ko and 60ko ,Opera will use the smallest font who are in D: or C:systemfont so it will use the font at 30ko.
that's what l want say to "smallest"

It's not the font size which is the problem, it's an unreadable font, not English!

I think what mario means is that (for some reason) Opera will use the font that comes first, alphabetically, in your fonts folder. So you will need to rename your font files in order to get opera to use the font you want.
This is a pain, but I suppose you could also consider it a bonus, as it offers a (convoluted) way to have Opera use a different font, in case your selected system font makes web pages look screwy.

Ok guys, I got the problem solved. In the System/fonts folder, there was a font file named "msdetf" which was playing the mischief. I tried to delete it but it wouldn't as it showed it was in use. So I started a back up, and during the back up process, I deleted that file. Hey presto, everthing's fine again!!

@Qwerty_uk
It's alphabeticaly? not the size of the font files?are you sure?
besause I have unistall freetype.dll in order to have opera right font.
So if it's only the name who is problem I can rename it and re-install freetype font.
@dilipc
Not necessary to make a backup to delete the font!
-simply delete the "freetype.dll" in C: and D: if you have twice.
-reboot the phone
-delete the font you want
-install freetype.sis (who simply install freetype.dll)
-finally reboot

mario: It certainly seems to be alphabetical for me. Yesterday, I used Sman file manager, went into D:\system\fonts and used the duplicate function on a font file called hemihead.ttf. The copy was automatically named 0.Hemihead.ttf. Restarted the phone, went into Opera, and the font had changed to Hemi Head
