Chinese System Font Problem

HELP PLEASE !!!

Since I installed Opera 10.52 (presently updated to build 3366) on my Win XP system, I have this annoying and incurable problem: Whenever I access Chinese websites, or get Chinese language search results, Opera dislays and saves them using some weird Chinese font, viz.

or

This particular font is very tiny because it also gives the Pinyin transliteration for each character - a feature I don't want or need. All I want is a legible display of 'pure' Chinese characters, such as I used to get with Opera ver 6.x to 9.x:

I have changed the international font settings, Chinese section, again and again, without any result. The technical question, therefore, is this: How do I tell Opera 10.5 which Chinese fonts to use for its own, internal puposes?

So all of you millions out there, who are used to the in- and output of Chinese characters on their western language XP-box. help an old China Hand,

謝謝大家!









Ver. 9.64 + 10.52, build 3366 - German
Platform Win32 - Windows XP Home - JRE2, (Build 1.6.0_19)

I suffer from the very same problem...
Since the last update Opera uses a calligraphy font for simplified characters -- which renders characters with more than 6 or 7 strokes rather illegible. Traditional characters are displayed correctly.
I checked the settings over and over, but the font settings are all correct, I also tried to simply remove the calligraphy font from my fonts, but then Opera used another font equally illegible.

Have you found a solution for that problem yet? As you must know from your own experience it's rather annoying...
Thanks a lot,
