Same thing happens in firefox. Sometimes I open a word doc in abiword and get a similar issue, the solution is to select all and change the font to Bitstream or something open-source, I suspect the issues may be similar, but I have no idea how to get micro$oft fonts into bsd, or how to change opera/firefox's font. could be totally unrelated too. it's been around a long time, must be an issue no one else has - did you build operta from ports or download the package? Maybe some magic needs to go in /etc/make.conf - that's the only way half the ports will work with cups at all; doesn't fix firefox, however. Good luck with that. There are certain things FreeBSD is bad at fixing, and they all relate to the desktop. Had to put Fedora on my notebooks so I could sleep them reliably. Still use BSD when I can though (desktops, servers).
