There's two ways you can fix this.

First:
1) Buy Tweaks2k2 and install on your imate Product
2) Using the Tweaks Program, change the system font
3) Soft Reset using psshutxp (NOT USING THE HARDWARE BUTTON)
4) Start Opera (Problem is solved)
5) (Optional) Run Tweaks2k2 again and change system font back to original (Tahoma). Soft Reset again using psshutxp (NOT THE HARDWARE BUTTON)

Second option (because I'm cheap and I don't want to buy the program:
1) Look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wcedsn40/html/cgconreplacingwindowscedefaultfonts.asp

2) Using a Registry Editing Program, go to the registry entries listed in the link above and change the name of the font (i.e. "Nm") to Courrier New. I recommend you do this to all 4 registry lines (Someone who's smarter than me can figure out which one specifically does the job).

3) Once you've changed the "Nm" entry of the 4 listed registry keys listed above, do a soft reset using psshutxp (NOT THE HARDWARE BUTTON)

4) After reboot, run Opera and the problem is solved.

5) (Optional) Go back and change the 4 registry keys to their original value (Tahoma) and do a soft reset using psshutxp (NOT THE HARDWARE BUTTON) Hope this helps.

Or another easier way.
Just copy verdana.ttf from your computer to your /windows/fonts directory on your Universal. :-)

Wrong....

The only thing that helps is to copy Verdana.ttf from PC to /Windows older on Universal.

goxboxlive,
Thanks for the comments. I tried you're way as well. You're right, its even easier. However, if folks want to put a custom font on their machine (way off topic), they can use the registry edits I used above. I've been playing with it for a while now. I had no idea you could do all this stuff. Fun.

Hi there. Yes it's a funny machine, there's a lot things you can do with it. One of the funniest things is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35972&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Can someone explain what the 'psshutxp' is?

Thanks

psShutXP:
http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/

It's a skinnable little app that allows you to turn the screen off (not just backlight - separate utility as well), soft reset, power down, and hard reset. I use it to turn the backlight off and do a soft reset if I can't find my stylus.

Note that the recommendation is probably made with regards to the soft reset otherwise possibly being done before the registry/file changes are written away. You can alternatively wait a while, or try to power down the device fully (hold the on/off (standby, really) button for a while, and you should get a prompt).

Actually I copied Arial.TTF into the font folder and it became the default font. Tried calbri instead and it too worked..

BUT once you have added a font to the directory I cant seem to delete it.

What I am having happen, is the keyboard pops up as soon as Opera opens, when I close it Opera unboots, ditto with IE now..
