I downloaded Opera 9.63.  I could not find a way to run it from a wrapper 
script in the unpacked directory so I ran install.sh.  It kept settings 
from 9.50beta (which crashes a lot).  It comes with 8MB of locale files, 
and to start it I had to type

opera -language english

Otherwise it told me I had to specify language.
Even like this, it said my language file was too old or doesn't exist.
After I started it with language specified, I could then type just opera.

It is now not 5MB but 10MB download.

It still does not work at AT&T phone company site with some javascript 
that checks availability of DSL service (my test page).

They have done something to make it render web pages faste.

When I select web pages in LUCIDA font, it appears to use the XVESA 
default font.  Scraggly looking, serif, possibly monospaced.  Lucida 
Bright is the same, Lucida Typewriter looks like Fixed Misc or Clean or 
Terminal (the l is a vertical line with a small line to the left at the 
top).  Helvetica looks like Lucida (serif, scraggly).  I think it uses 
only TWO fonts.

The dialog box for choosing fonts displays them properly but the web pages 
are not as expected.

9.50b displays fonts as expected.  I have not tried 9.60-62.

I have the full set of 75 dpi X fonts for Slackware 7.1, including lu - is 
this lucida?   Testing at 1024 resolution.

In Preferences, Advanced, enable single key shortcuts for keyboard 
navigation between links (with a and q).  They turned this off in Version 
9.5.  Selected links are now not just underlined but also boxed in blue.

I may check this out in Windows.
