Opera mobile 10 displays squares instead of text

I installed opera mobile 10.1 from market and runs smoothly and quicker than other browsers I tried but text is displayed as squares. Wondered if anyone else has had the same problem or knows how to fix it as I use it on my desire and would like to on scroll?

Thanks.

Fixed it. Looked at settings on my desire (opera:config) and did same on scroll. Found some settings in css generic font family were set to clockopia, changed to Droid sans then rebooted. This worked.

Just checked opera:config again and although I set the CSS Generic Font Family sections Cursive and Fantasy settings to "Droid Sans" after reboot they have changed to "Droid Serif" so there must be some sort of validation going on?

The other settings I have are Monospace "Droid Sans Mono" with Sans-Serif and Serif both set to "Droid Serif".

Another place to check is the Fonts section mine are all set to Droid Serif. One thing I have noticed it that text in the address bar does not show until you click in it and text in the message box that is displayed when you change settings is not displayed so there must be another setting somewhere!
