ugly fonts in Opera

    My PC got formatted while I was at work (she was trying to write an email and somehow managed to wipe the hard drive, go figure) and I'm putting it back together. I'm stuck on this one annoying bit - trying to de-uglify the fonts in the main Opera window. I have all the fonts installed, as per this page and they look fine in the menus, dialogue boxes etc. but I can't remember what needs to be done for the main text in windows.

    Anyone know what I'm on about? I'm trying to find an old screen shot for the sake of comparison...

    <edit>I logged out of KDE and into BlackBox and it looks much better here, so it must be a KDE thing</edit>

    run qtconfig and setup a font substitution table for the ugly fonts that affect you, as opera is Qt sometimes KDE's settings might not suit it as it doesn't work with KDE's font settings, thats why blackbox was helping!

    Edit: Eh their is another step to get this to work, :eek: haven't used opera in ages. Anyone else?

    Fixed it, but not sure how :dunno:
    I think the font manager wasn't resetting itself properly, and after a few (unrelated, AFAICT) changes and a reboot the fonts work fine in Opera under KDE again.

    Ah, the old reboot, despite what they say about linux, you can't beat it! :D

    Now the plugins are all installed and recognised but no video streams (Real player, Quicktime, AVI/MPEG) will play back, just a blank white screen appears where the video window should be. I wonder is there a way of checking what's going on in Opera's head when it's supposed to be playing away; some kinda verbose mode, perchance...
