I updated to Opera 10.60 just now. The fonts look extremely ugly to the
point that makes this browser just a useless bunch of bytes on disk.
Anyway to fix this?

I do not have the same problem ... fonts look fine here. Is your problem
perhaps related to the fonts that you have installed?

Nope. And Opera 10.11 doesn't have this problem. Neither do the other
browsers I have installed (Firefox and Konqueror.)
Here's a screenshot of the problem:

Opera is not using anti-aliasing. You can see it by comparing the content of
the Opera window to the title bar (drawn by kwin).
I'm going to emerge latest opera here and see what I get. Then we can compare
notes.

I fail to see how that comment is in any way useful. He's using the bitstream-
vera font or one of it's derivatives and here on my system it works fine.
Zooming in and out to both extremes does not cause his problem to appear here,
so it's unlikely to be a user fault.
Nikos, I just merged 10.60 and it works here. What are your local font-related
settings?

In case it matters, I'm on AMD64. I also found this:

It still looks like crap if I zoom, so there you go.

Previous versions used to have the qt-static flag in them, the 10.60 does not.
All I can say is that over here fonts look anti-aliased - so I am not sure
what's causing your problem - could it be related to your desktop manager?

I've no idea. That's why I posted about it :-/

For comparison, here's mine. I seldom touch or do anything with my font
config:
Same here apart from utils, I have that on. Doesn't seem relevant.

Doesn't seem to apply. It only mentions opera's own decorations in menus etc,
not the actual content in the page. What does opera use as it's rendering
engine?
