Opera font issue: Default font will not change

view story
linux-howto

https://bbs.archlinux.org – I noticed that every page I visit from Opera except this archlinux website has this horrible monospaced font displayed. I went to the font settings in Opera and switched defaults to sans serif fonts but still this monospaced font is everywhere. I checked author mode and user mode and each mode displays the same font. Firefox and Chromium don't have this problem, however, I did notice that when I play a youtube video or use something with flash player the font inside the video frame is the exact same font as Opera's font.

Stories similar to Opera font issue: Default font will not change

Post editor font in Opera 3 years 19 weeks ago

I have very big font when I'm writing a post on this forum in Opera. Other sites works good, even whole opensuse site, just post editor on forum have such font. Also my friend who is using opera have such problem. Could opensuse admin fix this bug?

I know that:

Default font-is just default Document font-for Documents Window title fonts is for titles.

What the others are for? What is monospace font? I only know it's a font like any font.

Hinting is for notices like the names of objects in the dock, isn't it?

I recently installed Korean fonts as well as ibus/ibus-hangul so that I can type Korean. I noticed that in Firefox the Korean font looks relatively normal and appropriate... but in Chromium the font is hideous. In Libreoffice the default Korean font is droid sans (fallback) and everytime I choose a different korean font it will not switch to the one I choose... instead keeping the default active.

According to the Mirror Status page, my mirror is 100% up to date.I don't think changing the font will help since the problem affects at least 3 different fonts (Mutter window title font, GTK+ 3 menu font, Gnome Terminal font, Chomium tab font) simultaneously.

I am running Linux Mint 12 and trying to start emacs but keep getting this error:

font 'serif 10' is not defined

It seems obvious to me that I don't have the correct font.

I update system today . Just before , everything is normal.

Opensuse 11.3 with kde 4.4.xx

Having a problem with the menu font colour in GTK apps (firefox & thunderbird).

All menus in all other apps have the correct font colour (black) but as you can see in this screenshot the font colour is white for thunderbird.

Possible Duplicate: SWT - OS agnostic way to get monospaced font

Which are the monospaced fonts which are available by default in the OS and both in windows as well as in linux platform?

Is assigning different fonts based on OS is recommended?

This is for displaying texts in JTextArea

You're welcome. Terminus is a bitmapped font but I don't know if that's the issue. I do remember a truetype font that looked pretty similar but- ummm... don't remember what it's actually called. :p Maybe someone will jump in with recommendations. There's also some fixed-width font examples here: http://www.lowing.org/fonts/in case you see anything you like.
