Improved font calculation method
Improved fonts for hi-res devices
Page layout improvements
Various stabilization fixes

For more information or questions check out this forum post.

Update:

We had a small font issue with this build. An update has been released!

Can you delay the release of Opera Mobile 14. There is glitches with my mobile http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1650522.

Is there any way to roll back to an older version if the latest update does not work?

How about a Opera Mobile 14 on WebKit for iOS? Will you release such thing? I know that Apple's policy won't allow you to use the Blink fork. But then again, Google managed to get their GMaps application approved, and they're in the same situation with Chrome for iOS.

Horrible! Font too small in my.opera only. Other bookmarks seem ok. Fix please!

Agree with Carol. There is issue with fonts some are tiny that you can't read them but other are too big instead..

i would like to take a treap (travellel) to mars
CarolMonday, April 22, 2013 10:14:43 PM
Beyond horrible! But not a font issue with all bookmarks. Weird. I want former version back!
CarolMonday, April 22, 2013 11:10:49 PM
Interesting that with font change to "small" and single column, readability seems better. Hope this is permanent fix.
CarolMonday, April 22, 2013 11:28:04 PM
Nope! Still horrible and unstable on Motorola Droid Razr Maxx. Font size issues.
CarolMonday, April 22, 2013 11:31:28 PM
Why my.opera only site with font issues? Need some answers!
SoumitraTuesday, April 23, 2013 3:52:12 AM
New version is not good. Font and text size is too small. Please improve it.
David HaleTuesday, April 23, 2013 8:32:06 AM
I’m having the opposite problem. All fonts on small setting now seem way too big. Find myself doing a lot more scrolling around since the update.

After last Update Opera mini hangs after the "font gathering" and this reappears. Cant load any website. Please fix it. Worked flawlessly for months before. Galaxy Note 1, Android 4.1.2

When will release new update for java version?
d-waTuesday, April 23, 2013 8:18:31 PM
why don't just handle the font data calculation?
the view just perfect as of version 7.5.1, people supposedly can live with it.
and now why fix the things that ain't broken?
maybe I am wrong and opera mini development always be good anyway.

after it opera mini only need to upgrade the download manager like the one on java, blackberry and symbian's opera mini v 7.1.
also I really can't download a file above 15 MB at all. please use the same method for downloading large file as the small file.

what I feel is opera mini already perfect for browsing but it needs to handle download better.
please get the things right this time, opera mini team.
CarolTuesday, April 23, 2013 9:52:52 PM
Totally agree with the above poster. Fix please!
d-waWednesday, April 24, 2013 1:19:16 AM
@pankaj : anything wrong with opera mini's latest version on java ?

Fonts are generally too small to read. Xperia U with FXP 216
CarolWednesday, April 24, 2013 12:41:49 PM
Just downloaded 4/24/13 update, and font issue on droid razr maxx is much improved. Thanks for quick fix!
SoumitraWednesday, April 24, 2013 1:39:58 PM
New Opera Mini 7.5.3 is much better. Font and text size are bigger.
selurusWednesday, April 24, 2013 9:02:40 PM
This is why I Love Opera, they listen to their users and give them what they want.
KiKoThursday, April 25, 2013 9:38:02 AM
Looks like it is working again after new update. "Font gathering" appeared only once. Websites load normally. Thanks
Aleksander AasThursday, April 25, 2013 11:18:32 AM
Font issue fixed!
Bijan SinghThursday, April 25, 2013 1:39:24 PM
Issue of small font size still persist even after the update in my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT- S5830i. Please look into it and fix it at the earliest.

Chrome for iOS is just wasting space on your phone, it's basically Safari but with a slowed down javascript engine. Apple's rules disallow anything but using Safari WebView control, and you can't use Nitro, which ensures Apple's browser is always the best on iOS.

This sort of behaviour is actually illegal, and no different to what Microsoft did bundling IE and Windows.... But then it's Apple, and they are total scumbags.

SoumitraFriday, April 26, 2013 12:39:26 PM
Please add Extra Large Font. Font is too small.

A descrença e os prazer proibidos continuam.O cepticismo e o que chamado de ciência têm,em grande medida,minado a fé do mundo cristão em suas Biblias.
