Opera uses an older method of anti-aliasing which involves use of an  
XftConfig file.  Though the document at the URL below describes a NetBSD  
setup, it will work on FreeBSD, and Linux-Opera will be able to display  
anti-aliased fonts if they are selected in fonts preferences.  I find the  
Bitstream Vera fonts give a very nice appearance.
