Strange fonts after upgrading to Ubuntu Saucy (13.10.)

Deleted User last edited by
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?

Have you tried a clean profile (opera -pd /tmp) to see whether the issue is inherent or just something in your settings?

I have the same problem after upgrading to 13.10. Tried to launch Opera with a clean profile as suggested above but still ugly fonts.

I'm running Xubuntu Saucy with no font issues here. It's a clean install, but I also had an upgrade from Raring working happily too.
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? -

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

Try running opera with the following line:
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' >> ~/.Xresources2. Restart your X session.
3. See obvious changes in opera's renderingThis overrides default Xft lcd filtering engine (see http://spasche.net/files/lcdfiltering/ for details).

Install what?
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.

I was faced with the same problem after a clean Ubuntu 13.10 install and Zloy-Utk's suggestion works, thanks a lot.

Yes, for me too! Thanks.

Здорово, злой уток!
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.
