Opera doesn't display special characters from google fonts

Question

I use PT Sans from Google Fonts. It has all the special chars I need (ą, ś, ź, ł etc). The problem is - Opera doesn't display them in bold (in CSS I write font: bold 16px/2em "PT Sans", sans-serif, so there is no way it could look for "PT Sans Bold" (but I did include PT Sans both 400 and 700). Firefox, Chrome and IE (8, 9) are doing fine.

What can I do?

@Pekka He probably does if the characters show up as non-bold. – Bonnet

Are the accented characters shown in not-bold shown in PT Sans 400, or in another font altogether? – Bonnet

Ohh, so they do work in non-bold, misread that. – Kuomintang

Pekka - I have UTF-8. millimoose - they doesn't show at all - just blank space. – Edition

Sounds very weird, no idea what this could be. A live example would be cool. – Kuomintang

I've put in on jsiddle in case your example page doesn't stick around. – Cordellcorder

It seems to be working for me in Opera 12 on Mac OS X. What is Opera showing when you do right-click -> "Inspect element"? (Or whatever it's labelled) is it showing the proper characters in the HTML source? Is the browser rendering nothing at all, or a blank space? – Kuomintang

Opera 12.00 on Windows 7 here. I woudn't blame my particular installation, since it's my girlfriend is using it, and she didn't change a thing after fresh install. – Edition

Huh? In Opera 12 on Windows 7 inside the VM, it doesn't seem to be loading the Google font at all for me. That could be some VM config issue, although it's weird – Kuomintang

Propably not, since I just checked on my laptop with Opera Next installed. Font isn't loading either. – Edition

Seems like an Opera problem - at google.com/webfonts when you select "PT Sans" and try to write any of the chars I've brought up, it will fail and use normal sans-serif font (Arial for me). – Edition

@Kuomintang Opera has a number of platform-specific bugs with web fonts bugs; this appears to be another. – Control

Phew, I made it! Actually, solution is pretty simple, all you need to do is add &subset=latin-ext at the end of your font link. See the example.
