Weird font

I tried to update my stable version to the last 11.60 build and all was messed up. I reinstalled the old one and the first time after that all the fonts looked like that

After removing the operaprefs.ini file i was able to restart and all went back to normal. Except that this weird font (which i have no idea from where it comes since it's not selected anywhere in the Fonts) has reappeared in some of the configuration windows. Has any of you an idea what it is and how can i get rid of it?

It is Marlett — a Windows system font. Check your settings in Preferences, Fonts, or in the fonts section of opera:config.

The Fonts setting must have been messed up. Go to the Fonts section under opera:config and click the 'Default' button for each setting in the Fonts section.

Try running the free Fix Font Folders from High-Logic. It needs updating and is no longer officially supported, but it has fixed a lot of similar problems reported on these forums, which may be due to a corrupted Windows Font Registry.

Used that, no effect. I decided to upgrade to the last 12 build and in it the problem has pretty much disappeared: now i can only find it in the Malware tab from the site security window - i can live with that for now. When the stable 12 will appear i will do a full fresh install and hope for the best.
I still have no idea what caused that and how it can be fixed.
