Opera 7 on Windows XP doesn't like my font switcher

I received a report from a reader of this site that Opera 7 on Windows XP scrunches and crunches words together. I opened it up on my machine, and sure 'nuff, they were right. I figured setting the font-size back to its default would fix the problem, by clicking on the "R" button on the top left - but none of the buttons seems to work on XP. I tried it on Windows 2000 and everything works fine. Hmmm, damn Opera. Oh well, I have a upcoming project to make a web app Opera 7-compliant, so I'm guessing I'll find all kinds of quirks in the near future. An easy fix for this problem would be to delete your cookies in Opera, but you actually have to download the Opera File Explorer to do this - what a pain!

"I tried it on Windows 2000 and everything works fine. Hmmm, damn Opera." - Wouldn't this be "damn Microsoft" since its only broken on WinXP?

Actually, I've tried it on IE at work and it seems to do the opposite and blow everything up (effectively rendering elements on top of each other). Version 6.0.2800.1106. The only reason I can add this comment now is due to the fact I installed Mozilla on this PC earlier today to check some javascript code.

Kwan - This is probably due to the font-size problem I documented earlier. Try deleting your cookies to reset back to normal.
