kurt_ram Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) I installed Mandriva 2008 couple of hours back and I'm impressed. One thing I did notice is that certain text on some webpages that look perfectly good on Firefox looks bad on Opera. Please see the screen capture below. Does anyone know how to fix this? On Firefox: On Opera: Any help?? PS: By the way, I have already downloaded and installed msttcorefonts-bootstrap-0.1-4brs.noarch.rpm. It didn't help.

adamw Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I haven't used Opera lately...does it have font configuration options? If so, what are they set to at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 disable core x fonts (cut and paste above in adress bar) and restart opera: opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableCoreXFonts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris:b Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) Close opera. Open the following file with a texteditor: /home/<username>.opera/opera6.ini (Note that the .opera directory is a hidden dir, with a dot) And add this line: Enable Core X Fonts=0 in the section [user Prefs] edit: ffi was faster :-) Edited October 14, 2007 by chris:b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt_ram Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I disabled Core Fonts and that did it. Now, the fonts appear good on Opera too. Thank you ffi and chris:b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibi1981 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I had the same problem with illegible fonts only in "code" tag and only in Opera. Some suggested me to install msfonts but I prefer Liberation. Knew this was some kind of Opera issue. What's all about with disabling "core x fonts"? I'm just curious P.S. It did the trick of course ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
