Free Opera

2005-09-20 Thread Gerard Seibert
I know that this is slightly off topic, but Opera is now being given
away free. There is a FreeBSD version available there.

We will now return you to your regularly scheduled forum.

I downloaded and installed the FreeBSD version this morning.  It
intalled and ran with no problems at all, but I find the fonts ugly in
comparison to Firefox and Mozilla.  I can't see any reason to switch to
it.

Mozilla and Firefox use antialiased fonts.  Does Opera use antialiased
fonts too, or not?  This could explain why it looks 'less pleasing'...

I don't know.  If there is an easy way to find out on my installation,
let me know and I will post the result.

I haven't installed Opera yet.  I'm planning to do so in the next few
days though.

I assume you guys are talking about the Toolbar fonts.
I've used Opera since 5.x and I'm pretty sure there is no
Anti-Alias option.

The Font options are located under:
Tools-Preferences-Advanced

On the Left side you'll see a Font Option that allows you to set all
the different fonts.

The toolbar font is anti-aliased as you can see on the picture below. Did  
you mean the menu font?

Your Right. I don't use the Toolbar so I referred to the Menu as the
Toolbar? Sorry.
