Opera Font Aliasing

I recently installed the latest stable release of Opera (v46) on my PC (Windows 10) and I noticed that the font aliasing issue from years ago is still around.

The most obvious place I spotted these font issues are right here on the Opera Discussion boards.

Here are two screenshots to show the difference between fonts in Opera and Chrome on the same PC:

As in the screenshots, the fonts in Opera look crooked and aliased. It's most obvious in characters s, p, and o, which show jagged edges.

I have tried several proposed solutions, including using the experimental flags, to no avail.

I really want to use Opera as my main browser but reading on it is unbearable because of these issues.

I am seeing this same issue, however it is limited to fonts that I have installed on my local system. Fonts that I do not have locally installed are getting anti-aliased just fine but fonts that I have installed on my PC are not being anti-aliased. I have tested this with several different font families and the behaviour is consistent.

I too have tried all of the flags as well as purging my browser settings. The only thing I haven't tried yet is reinstalling, however I am seeing this behaviour across multiple devices.
