How to Use an External Font in Opera 421 beta9

Some users might be facing a lil problem while using an external font in Opera 421 b9. Here I'll try to copy-paste a usefull reply from one of advance Opera Mini Mod user, "alohaa" (moderator from Opera Mini Mod Officiall forum):

Hi, I want to explain a little, how an external font works in opera mini mod 4.21b9.

The author failed to do so, that the external font would simply join the other available ones, and after that everything worked correctly.

So, now an external font can be installed only by the replacement of one of the system fonts. And the system font, which was substituted, would not be available until you uninstall the external font. You can choose yourself, which the system font you are willing to be sacrificed.

Specify your will in the drop-down list 2 (see the screenshot), set the "reload" checkbox and save. From now, each time you set the drop-down list 1 (screenshot) to the same meaning that you specified in the drop-down list 2, the webpages will be displayed by means of the external font, otherwise one of the remained system fonts will be applied.

I want to emphasize, if you have installed Georgia 21, it would always be 21 pixels high (opera uses bitmap fonts, and they are not resizable). And no matter which the system font you have chosen to replace in the drop-down list 2. If you need another size, you have to install any different external font. For example, tahoma12 or chernik24.
