i don't have /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XftConfig either, but my linux-opera
runs just fine.  i'm not sure that this is the problem.

do you have one of the linux_base ports installed?

-- if no, you'll need one.
-- if yes, give pkgdb -Fu a try and see if that clears anything up.

also try running opera as a normal user.  your root account may not have
the same 'environment variables' set as you regular account.  (a problem
i've run into in the past which gave me curious X related error messages)


good luck,
