Opera has trouble using core X fonts, you can disable them though.

Under ~/.opera/opera#.ini (where # represents version) add:

Enable Core X Fonts=0 

in the [User Prefs] section of the file.

thanks, I did't use your solution though, because it fixed already when I use opera 10:D – ariefbayu – 2009-09-04T07:53:20.943

Some information available at an Opera forums thread about the issue.
