Opera thinks my friends are Korean

[pne]

OK, this Korean font on my friends page is getting to be annoying. And the Korean isn't even on the first two pages any more! What's up with the weird font choice, Opera? It used to work just fine!

Edit: Switching the Hangul font to "Automatic" turned my friends page into Georgia again. WTF? Since "Automatic" for Hangul is suppopsedly Batang -- a serif font which I don't really want to Korean. (I like sans-serif for CJK.)

Yeah, I've noticed Opera 9.5x choosing weird fonts from time to time, too. I *think* I'm glad it's not just me, but that may be misplaced.

Did you do a new install, or an upgrade? I wonder whether there's some config setting somewhere that had its interpretation silently changed between 9.0 and 9.5...?

Upgrade (from 9.27 to 9.51).

I know it disabled single-key shortcuts (e.g. "6" for "switch zoom back to 100%"), which were previously enabled by default. Which I think is stupid behaviour for an upgrade installation - it should work the way the old one did.

What Opera defaults to on virgin installations is their business, but breaking muscle memory on an upgrade seems stupid to me -- especially if the function is still there but just disabled now!

(Also for some reason, Ctrl+Q now only closes Opera on Unix and Mac, not on Windows - but I had got used to it. Why'd they change this? Anyway, fortunately I could figure out how to restore that functionality.)
