Is it possible to fix opera 25 fonts ?

I'm trying to migrate to opera 25 from opera 12 but the fonts are killing my eyes, is there any way to fix them ?
The default fonts are really messed up, DirectWrite improves thing a bit but it's still very unpleasant to read text, the subpixel rendering doesn't seem to work correctly.
You can see a comparison of opera 12 (top), firefox (both are nearly identical), then opera 25, and finally opera 25 with DirectWrite on:

(zoom on it if you don't see the differences).

What about Chrome/Chromium?
In my old XP (this is unfortunately not representative) Opera fonts look as usual. Image you linked looks like Windows font optimizations (hinted shift of font elements to full pixel - two first samples) are somehow turned off. DirectWrite is ugly as well, but atleast hinted properly. -

I don't know about Chrome. I have subpixel font smoothing activated (windows 7) but it's true that if I deactivate it then all software looks equally horrible. So it seems Opera is not interacting nicely with Windows subpixel rendering for some reason.

I'm just curious does anybody else has this problem, or I am the only one ?

I think that is Opera Forum problem because in others sites it is ok.
Or it can be my computer because the fonts are in Opera browser for android.

Hmm, I dont seem to have that issue.
Especially not in the profile, the font and text look totally different at my Opera 25 (Windows 7)http://www.mysoldier.de/fileadmin/userstorages/falloutboy84/BugReport/Opera_25/fonts-render.JPG

Can you post a print of Opera for Windows forums? I want to compare with mine.

May be a DriectWrite font rendering issue (Untested) M)
- Open opera://flags/#disable-direct-write
- Enable Disable DirectWrite
- Restart Opera
Or this setting for alternative font anti-aliasing may help.
Open opera://flags/#lcd-text-aa
and try some changes, but dont forget to restart Opera between the testing. -

You have the same problem that I posted in the first message, there's just something wrong in the way Opera render fonts, and that they need to fix.

The main problem is that once you've noticed it, it's really hard to ignore...

It's not site specific no, but it's more noticeable depending on the font size, color and type.
