Since version 46 I have a problem with the correct font display (version 45 all was ok) - it's looks like here:

The problem is with some fonts from Google Fonts.

I'm a web developer and Opera from years is my main browser to work. Since the last update to version 46, there is a problem with not smooth fonts. I'm using webfonts form Google Fotns and the problem is with some of them (not all).

For example:

• Open Sans - is correct -> https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Open+Sans
• PT Sans - is not correct -> https://fonts.google.com/specimen/PT+Sans

Here is the difference:

OK, thanks the 'zoomed highlight' I could see the issue.

This is a known issue on many sites/with many fonts. Opera latest stable update renders fonts non-smooth (ugly and choppy).
Clearly visible if you toggle site with Chrome.

I use an extension called Font Changer with Google Web Fonts. Has a good array of Google fonts and allows size and style adjustment. Only problem: it kills small symbols like boxes, etc which are regarded as font elements. So I have to disable it on some sites.
