[opensuse] Yikes... I can't read my own home page with opera on openSuSE 11,3???
I don't know if this is an OpenSuSE or an Opera thing but I don't have this problem on Xubuntu, Arch, Nor PCLinuxOS... So I'll start here... I just installed opera on OpenSuSE 11.3 (x86_64) In case it's something to do with a bad repository you can check out the attached zypper ar output. And anyway it's insisting on using a bizarre font for several pages including my own simple "local file" home page for which I never defined fonts or styles what so ever... I checked all the fonts listed in: tools->preferences->advanced->fonts and the closest thing to wierd was the setting for "font family fantasy" which was set to impact. which while I also find that hard to read didn't resemble the crappola I'm getting from opera. And anyway I changed that setting to Edmunds (which I have no problem reading) but it didn't have any effect. I tried going to: tools->preferences->advanced->content>style options->presentation mode And one at a time I tried switching between author and user mode as well as disabling "page fonts and colors". And when that didn't do anything I tried disabling "my fonts and colors". Nothing makes any difference. To see the diff between how opera and firefox renders this page, check out the screen shot at: https://home.comcast.net/~jtwdyp/fileShuttle/CompareTheView.png Can anybody tell me how to fix this??? I normally use opera more than firefox. But this is just, well awful... -- | ^^^ ^^^ | <o> <o> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ ` J(tWdy)P | ___ <<jtwdyp@ttlc.net>> | ' `

http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-help-here/applications/404229-font-pr... Could you be a little more specific... I know what my "profile" is in firefox. Though I've no idea how to get it to use a renamed profile (unless does it have an internal function for that?) Which is a mute point because Firefox is rendering these pages correctly... my ~/.opera directory tree is a complex collection of files and directories, none of which appears to be named profile. How does one "rename an opera 'profile'" without loosing all of ones settings and starting over from scratch. And if that's the point I already tried temporarily renaming ~/.opera to ~/,operaWAS and let opera create a new ~/.opera directory. But this didn't help so I restored my original...
