FYI,
I finally figured out why Opera did not display most fonts correctly with DSL verion 0.6.0 and newer...
Opera detected the presence of a library, libXft.so and it tried to use some font serving functions that don't seem to work with DSL.
I could not force Opera to ignore the faulty library, but I could temporarily rename the symlinks to it so that Opera could no longer find the file.
It then started up fine and displayed the fonts correctly.
You need a writable file system in order to do the rename so the Opera extension must be a .dsl package instead of a tar.gz package. That's too bad because Opera runs very well on old dinosaur computers and some of them do not have enough RAM to run the writable file system (not enough iNodes). However, the package will work great on these old computers if they are running with an hd installed DSL.
Opera is now available in two extension formats:
DSL extension:
opera612.dsl
or
Compressed ISO:
opera.ci
operauser.tar.gz
Included with Opera is the flash plugin and a shell wrapper that will automatically start using the JAVA DSL extension if it gets installed at any time.
I also added a script to save your user settings into a customized DSL extension file, so you can customize your settings and then they will be automatically loaded back up along with your other DSL extensions.
Have Fun.
