Thanks a lot, Paul, for this information.
I will consider filing a bug there, or at least browse their bugzilla
(or equivalent) ...
hw-accel should be off, I never enabled it afaik.
Checked both settings, hw-accel and webgl, both were ON! Disabled,
restarted opera, same ugly font ...
We will see how things work out ...
thanks once more, Stefan
