setup, after upgrading to xorg. in my case acroread works. unfortunately, i don't run mathematica or maple. however, for linux-opera, try adding the following settings in $HOME/.linux-opera/opera6.ini: [User Prefs] <<---- under this section Enable Core X Fonts=0 Enable Xft Fonts=1 Trust Qt FontSwitching=0 though i find that many pages in opera don't look quite as sharp as before, this should make your opera fonts look acceptable. from within opera, you can also tinker with alt+p > fonts in order to better align the output to your tastes. hopefully someone will suggest a more general (ie. system-wide) fix for your issue. in the meantime, i would suggest taking a gander at your/var/log/Xorg.0.log for any error and warning messages. hth. cheers, epi > Any help
