Ok, I installed those packages but the problem of odd characters in 
certain parts of web pages persists. For example, on the yahoo main page 
in front of clickable news headlines ("In the News") there should be 
bullets, but Opera under BL3 is rendering them as question marks. This is 
certainly not a show-stopping issue, but just a slightly irritating 
effect.

It seems my diagnosis of what causes this odd rendering may have been 
wrong, since it persists even with a fuller range of X fonts installed. I 
also tried selecting different character sets in Opera itself, but the 
problem persists. Any other ideas about what the problem may be or how to 
fix it? 

Thanks,
James
