    I'm trying out Opera (which, aside from it's nuances, is a great browser) but some of the fonts are really weird.

    If you notice, the "Most Viewed Laptops" fonts are all right, but the ones in the forum thread are just huge.

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    EDIT: Fix is on page 2

    Don't you think the best place to pose this question is on the Opera Forums? Regardless, however, I find that very strange. It seems like somehow the font size has been increased or the zoom feature has been activated. Which version of Opera are you using?

    Nice Skin, btw!

    I remember fixing that under firefox, eventually. But I think it was because firefox had the option of "Let Webpage choose it's own font", and that pretty much settled everything. But opera has font options for everything, and some even conflict with the kde stuff

    Zephyrus...I'm using Opera now in Mint KDE CE 4.2, and the fonts look pretty good. I do have MS core fonts installed...do you?
