<![CDATA[Strange fonts after upgrading to Ubuntu Saucy (13.10.)]]>It has been a long time since I had problems with fonts in opera. Today I upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 and the fonts do not look like they used to. I tried to change the settings but I am a little bit confused:

1) Do I need to restart Opera so the changes take place?

2) What fonts settings influnece what?

The fonts seems odd (even though it is till usable, just a bit ugly) no matter what I select. What fonts do you use with Opera?

This fixed my fonts in Mageia/KDE too! Not just an Opera problem. I thought this was some general KDE issue that one must live with.

Wrong architecture means you are trying to install 64-bit Opera into a 32-bit system, or are trying to install 32-bit Opera and do not have the 32-bit compatibility libraries on a 64-bit system ... or of course are trying to install Opera on a completely foreign processor, like ARM or MIPS or whatever.

opera --debugfont | grep -A 25 'Xft baseline'

and close it immediately. See the grep output in a console. Most probably lcdfilter is set to legacy. It this is the case, do the following:
1.

$ echo 'Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault' >> ~/.Xresources

2. Restart your X session.
3. See obvious changes in opera's rendering

This overrides default Xft lcd filtering engine (see http://spasche.net/files/lcdfiltering/ for details).

Screenshots of fonts get distorted, it is not as fuzzy as on the screenshot:

Try clearing ~/fonts.conf (and obviously /etc/fonts/ if you've been playing in there too). Do both Qt and GTK applications look fine on your system?

I have not ~/fonts.conf and I have not messed with /etc/fonts). Yes, GTK and Qt applications are fine.
