on some windows the graphics are out of place and over lap text, in other cases text overlaps text as if the entire page is not showing as it should, it makes reading the window, page impossible.

Most likely you somehow zoomed in on the page. If that is it, it can be fixed by:

Hold down the Ctrl key and press 0 (zero) OR go to the View menu, select zoom, and then Reset.

This can also happen if you have increased the minimum font size from the default none.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size
  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

Opera renders the text fine. This is a serious problem and i am disappointed that no serious help has been given. /Edit/Preferences/Content/Fonts & Colors options have all been tried.

If a page specifies absolute positions for text and other elements then any change from what is specified can cause text to overlap. A missing font can be enough to cause that to happen.

Can you post a link to a web page where you see this happening?

I assume that you have set the Minimum Font Size to none and are allowing pages to use their own fonts.
If you use full page zoom to zoom a web page instead in increasing the minimum font size then Firefox can increase the full page and such issues are less likely to happen.

Thanks, this solved the same problem I was having

I allowed the pages to pick their own fonts and set minimum font size to 10 and my problems disappeared. Yahoooo!!
