Yowser! It's still in there. (In the Linux version anyway -- I've had a
quick look at the Mac OS X version's command line options, and it doesn't
seem to be there.)
Shut down Opera, open up your terminal, and run "opera -fontdebug". As
Opera runs, it will spew out tonnes of font-related messages onto the
terminal. It will tell you the name of each font as it loads when Opera
starts up; then it will say "And the winners are..." and tell you which
five fonts have "won the contest" to be the five generic CSS fonts; it
will tell you which fonts it's using for the browser chrome; then whenever
you load a page, or highlight some text, it will tell you which font it's
in, on a word-by-word basis.
