The letters in question (æøå) are visible. I read pages in my own native language on a daily basis, and have no problem viewing these letters. However, if I either enter one of them in the search box built-in Opera, or enter text into input fields on webpages, square boxes appear instead of the letter entered. Also if I enter these letter in eg. a blog comment, other people will read the squares. Svein Halvor
