 | Hi,
I'm using Opera just for compatibility testing, and I'm not really familiar
with its current bugs, maybe someone could help out.
The following seems to be simple enough (works in just about every browser,
including Opera 7.54 on Windows), except for Opera 7.54 final on Linux
(Suse). Verdana is installed and sans-serif is set to Arial. This code will
only work if Arial or sans-serif immediately follows the colon, otherwise it
will use the default font Times New Roman.
Test
Some Text should be in Arial or Verdana!!!
Thanks for any ideas or work-arounds (I need to have Verdana in first polace
for Windows!).
Kind regards
Wolfgang

We used to have a bug where one font was consistently ignored by
opera. This was often verdana... I think it might have been fixed
after 7.54...
Opera on linux has a somewhat serious problem: it only sees the first
element of the font-family list.
The combination of these two bugs would explain your problem.
