FYI

a) 64-bit Opera builds are scheduled for Kestrel, that is 9.5 - there will  
be a snapshot on
	http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/
b) you can change the fonts in preferences > advanced > fonts, and pick  
the ones you like.  Also, we'll have qt4 builds in Kestrel too, and they  
handle fonts much better than the current qt3 builds.
