Hello I really like Opera Browser, use it on Android and Windows.
Its fast and looks very nice, my only problem is that the font in Opera are grainy and blurry.

To be clear, my Windows Desktop font is perfect also the font inside the websites.

The problem is just visible on Opera (menu, settings, address bar...) how can i solve it?

I use Windows 8.1 Pro 64
Opera 53.0.2907.68

Have you look at Opera > Settings > Fonts?

Has been looking fine at some point?

Recent changes on Desktop's UI zoom?

Assuming is an Opera UI (only) problem, look at Settings > Hardware Acceleration and toggle it to test.

Other option would be to download the full Opera installer and reinstall on top.

You can also try the Test Profile from the signature's link, or try the portable installation option from the full Opera installer.

If needed,
search for Blurry fonts Chrome, they shares the engine, so look at there also.

As well as VGA driver updates.

Doesn't help, the letters are just in Opera blurry not in Windows.

@victor27 please try this:

Type into Opera's address bar opera://flags/#force-color-profile

Check out the profiles offered there. Note that you will need to exit and restart Opera after a switch to another color profile.
