Description:

After updating "opera" package from 42.0.2393.94-1 to 42.0.2393.137-1 fonts became ugly.

Screenshots:

* before update [1]
* after update [2]

Fonts became bolder, blurrier and wider. It seems Opera selects other fonts or other settings for rendering now.

Everything else works okay, only Opera is affected.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

community/opera 42.0.2393.94-1 → 42.0.2393.137-1

Up-to-date Arch, KDE5. In KDE5 System Settings: enabled antialiasing, enabled full hinting, set DPI to 118. Playing with DPI in KDE System Settings and Opera cmdline does not change blurriness, only font size.

Steps to reproduce:

Update "opera" package.

Opera is using system freetype since the stated version, I'm not aware they changed it back or not, If not you should be able to tweak it via system freetype.
