                  Remembering that this flag is gone on Opera 39.

                    The removal of GDI support has just reached the stable version of Google Chrome. This means, everyone who gets updated to the latest version of Chrome, will have blurry DirectWrite fonts as their only option. This will affect Opera as well as well as it's based on The Chromium Project.

                    Here is the response from those who are not satisifed with blurry DirectWrite fonts that are only good for developers living their blind idealism and some graphics designers equipped with high-end displays.
