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
