Opera 10.5 - bad looking fonts on printer

[Steve Franks]

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).

No matter what font comes from the website to print - Opera chooses always this bad font, the font spacing is terrible.
