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:

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

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' >> ~/.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).

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.
