Though the document at the URL below describes a NetBSD setup, it will work on FreeBSD, and Linux-Opera will be able to display anti-aliased fonts if they are selected in fonts preferences. I find the Bitstream Vera fonts give a very nice appearance. http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-x11/2002/12/29/.html> Thanks for the reply. Though the solution was not the one You've mentioned, I've found the real one on freebsdforums.org. Just for the archive: Fontconfig uses a configuration file named fonts.conf, xft loads fonts according to this file. Though the configuration was good for native application (for they have a differend version installed with the native port in /usr/X11R6/etc/fonts/fonts.conf), the emulated opera found another one like /usr/compat/etc/fonts/fonts.conf. You only have to symlink the native to the other one, and everything's OK. Maybe this should be done by the linux port automatically. Then I suppose there is more than one "real" solution or it has changed in the very recent past, because an XftConfig file produces lovely anti-aliased fonts for me in Opera.
