Poor Japanese 8.52 Windows

Saturday, 25. February 2006, 05:41:42

Last night, at last, we, Japanese have Opera 8.52 Japanese for Windows. They, at jp.opera, or at Oslo, are so busy, I guess. So crucial bug are there.

You have fixed flash plugin at Opera 8.51. You have vulnerability at 8.50 so fixed at 8.51, changed NPSWF32.DLL, to upgrade from 7r19 to 7r61.

8.52 Japanese Windows use 7r61, so it has 8.50 vulnerability. Oh, no. Relax and make steady work.

[Edit]
OperaASA replaced files for 8.52 Windows, with updated NPSWF32.DLL, without any notices.
cs, da, es-ES, es-LA, fi, fr, hi, it, ja, ko, nb, nl, nn, pa, pt, ru, sv, zh-cn, zh-tw are now new.
en, de, and pl versions are unchanged.

[Edit - another one]
8.52 of some languages might be called as 8.53

[Last Edit on 4th of March]
Opera released revised version of Opera 8.52 for Windows as Opera 8.53. So if uou use 8.xx on some languages, you can select version number, while 8.52 is on their server.

I think you mean that the Japanese Opera uses the old plugin version, that is the 7r19 one. ;) Have you filed a bug report?

Oh, I can see that the Czech, Russian, Norwegian and more versions also suffer this problem...

Fortunately Polish one is OK.

Bug report filed :) (#198073)

andol, thank you very much for your investigation and sending a bug report.
OperaASA should replace the files as soon as possible.

It's my pleasure, if we may talk about pleasure in such cases.

BTW, your blog menu looks bad in Opera installed on the Polish Windows XP. I think it will also apply on many other systems depending on the fonts installed there.

The page looks OK in Firefox.

"blog menu looks bad in Opera"

I set CSS for menu, as
{font-family:"Lucida Handwriting",fantasy;font-weight:900;color:#366}
so your Opera select some font as fantasy family.

From your screenshot of Firefox, it selects Times or Times New Roman for fantasy! Firefox sometimes ignore font-family settings, or we can't set font-family with Firefox through GUI.

For alter generic font-family with Opera, Preferences - Advanced - Fonts - CSS font-family fantasy, then Choose.

Opera's default for it here is Terminal, which I saw on your screenshot.

I may change my settings, but still most of Opera users will have similar problem here.
