Nikos, I just merged 10.60 and it works here. What are your local

For comparison, here's mine. I seldom touch or do anything with my font

Thanks, but unfortunately none of these settings seems to have any effect.
You have autohint set to false. What does that do?
If you have freetype with the "bindist" USE flag disabled (should be
default I think), then you also get the bytecode interpreter in addition
to the autohinter. The bytecode interpreter is usually disabled because
of patents. It is enabled by forcing the autohinter off.
The bytecode interpreter reads the hinting information supplied by the
fonts themselves rather than trying to construct its own hinting like
the autohinter does.

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

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?
No idea.
Anyway, no big deal since I mainly use Firefox anyway.
