Problem

The Opera Browser, running on Linux, displays some fonts very pixelated and/or without anti-aliasing.

Solution

  • Disable “X-Fonts”, which are enabled by default.
  • If you’re using Opera now, open this link—
    opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableCoreXFonts
    —uncheck the box, and save the page.
  • Restart Opera, and the ugly fonts problem should be fixed.
