Hey guys 👋
As the title suggests, when I write Arabic words in code comments, they are not displayed correctly **in the Opera browser after I post the topic.**
However, it works fine in preview mode and in other browsers, for example:
```ruby
# This is a basic workflow to help you get started with Actions
name: CI Name # Here we put the workflow name
# Controls when the action will run. Triggers the workflow on push or pull request
# events but only for the master branch
on: # We use it to set the timing for starting the workflow
push: # Here the workflow starts when code is pushed to the main master branch
branches: [master]
pull_request: # And here the workflow starts when a pull request is made
branches: [master]
# A workflow run is made up of one or more jobs that can run sequentially or in parallel
jobs: # Each workflow consists of several jobs
# This workflow contains a single job called "build"
build-for-production: # Here we give any name that describes the job the server will perform
# The type of runner that the job will run on
runs-on: ubuntu-latest # Server operating system, and here there are many options attached to the image below the code
# Steps represent a sequence of tasks that will be executed as part of the job
steps: # Here are the steps or tasks the server will perform
# Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so your job can access it
- uses: actions/checkout@v2 # This step is important as it directs the server to the current folder or project
# Runs a single command using the runners shell
- name: Run a one-line script # Name of the first task
run: echo Hello, world! # The command for the first task
# Runs a set of commands using the runners shell
- name: Run a multi-line script # Name of the second task
run: |
echo Add other actions to build, # Commands for the second task
echo test, and deploy your project.
```
This is an example from our instance.
I tried updating Discourse from 2.5.0.beta5 to 2.5.0.beta7, but the problem persists.
Edit: I don’t know why it works on your site 🤷♂️
but this is the original topic where we noticed this bug: [https://forums.coretabs.net/t/ما-معنى-devops؟-دليلك-التطبيقي-لميكنة-مشروعاتك/4917](https://forums.coretabs.net/t/%D9%85%D8%A7-%D9%85%D8%B9%D9%86%D9%89-devops%D8%9F-%D8%AF%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%84%D9%83-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%B7%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%82%D9%8A-%D9%84%D9%85%D9%8A%D9%83%D9%86%D8%A9-%D9%85%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B9%D8%A7%D8%AA%D9%83/4917)

Hey @AHMED_ALRIFAI welcome to Meta 👋
Discourse does not support Opera. The browsers we support are listed [here.](https://github.com/discourse/discourse#requirements)
The code block in your post seems to render OK for me on Chrome.
Also, the code blocks in your [linked topic](https://forums.coretabs.net/t/%D9%85%D8%A7-%D9%85%D8%B9%D9%86%D9%89-devops%D8%9F-%D8%AF%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%84%D9%83-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%B7%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%82%D9%8A-%D9%84%D9%85%D9%8A%D9%83%D9%86%D8%A9-%D9%85%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B9%D8%A7%D8%AA%D9%83/4917) seem to render OK for me on Chrome as well.
If the issue persists on any of the browsers we [support,](https://github.com/discourse/discourse#requirements) we’d be happy to look into into it 👍

If it works for you here on Meta but it’s not working on your site, then it might be a font issue. However, like I said we don’t support Opera.
The best thing I can recommend is to try safe-mode on your site
```plaintext
your.site.com/safe-mode
```
and see if the issue persists. If the issue does not occur in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true), then you might need to check your theme / css / font since it might be causing the problem on Opera.

This issue is related to the Arabic font and we’ve solved it by changing the `font-style` to `normal`, if anyone would like to keep the comments `italic` just change the typeface.
