I doubt it's still in more recent versions though. Probably disappeared

That would be very good indeed! Can't see it in my Opera (approx
or penultimately the latest)...
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.
