Webfonts (e.g. dashicons) don't load in Opera 12
-
Due to the combination of a CSS spec violation in Opera 12 (requiring font-face values in double quotes even though they don’t contain a space) and lazy formatting of WordPress stylesheets (dashicons.min.css + admin-bar.min.css did not wrap the “dashicons” font-face attribute in double quotes), Opera 12 fails loading dashicons.eot as a webfont and instead offers it for downloading each time a page opens which shows the admin-bar.
Opera 12 was recently updated to version 12.18 to implement a few more modern SSL/TLS ciphers; I doubt it will be developed any more regarding compatibility, though. But until any similarly wholesome web-suite will be created (I don’t like the style of SeaMonkey, and Vivaldi is still not mature enough – yet), I will still prefer Opera 12…
There may be even more quirks to guarantee that Opera 12 will support and accept EOT web fonts. It is possible, but requires a rather clean and careful stylesheet design. If the trick with local definitions is used to switch browsers, you may also need to quote the local font name.
