It's the RENDER extension which does anti-aliased fonts (and should
eventually do polygons and images). It's only in XFree4. Opera shouldn't
need it, but that's binary distributions for you.

Basically:
Get XFree4.0.3 and install, get freetype and install
or
Use another browser whose authors can package things properly.
