a lot of the fonts there are way too big in opera 7.5tp3 for linux

ok, other browsers render it correctly, but opera is a bit strict and only gives the correct output if the site has valid code (although I'm sure even opera will have some bugs in its implementation)

I've validated the page with the w3c validator http://validator.w3.org/ (with html3.2 & iso-8859-1 encoding) and it gave 289 errors... ;)
-> the css file is good but a lot of tags in the html file are not on the correct place, confusing opera
This task depends upon

Remember you're using a Technology Preview of a closed-source product, so the Archlinux maintainers can't change a thing on it. The only thing the opera package does when building it, is extracting the tarball from opera and placing it in a .pkg.tar.gz.
I don't think the Opera development team likes to trace all those small linux distro bugtrackers to look for bugs. It is better to report this one upstream.

I'm not complaining that opera is wrong :)

In fact I think all browsers should be more strict in their rendering engines

I've set the category to web site cuz the bug is in the webpage (well 289 bugs ;) - not in opera

opera isn't even in pacman :)

but now that I re-read it, my original problem isn't explained good enough...

Some of the paragraphs on that page are shown in a huge font (caused by bad placement of some html entities), there's nothing wrong with the opera fonts itself

axel,

does that mean the bug can be closed?

Hehe, LOL, thought this was a bug report about opera, which is only in incoming :P

It seems the documentation website uses some non-standard HTML what causes opera to break on it ;)

Tobias Kieslich: no... as long as that page has 289 bugs, I don't think this bug report can be closed ;)

I don't know if this is still an issue or not. Passing to Dusty...

Dennis rewrote the install guide for the new docguide format. All should be well now, I'm closing.
