Happy to say that our latest Opera 10.5 snapshot features an improved web fonts implementation and all the examples now work as expected http://my.opera.com/ODIN/blog/updated-web-fonts-support-in-opera-10-5-snapshot-build

You should make a new article about this using Opera 10.5.

It should be pointed out that the overlaps are not present in Opera 10 final release.
They seemed to have cleaned up a lot of artifacts before 10 shipped.

“… but most of the fonts I tested get a very strange type treatment with overlapping glyphs:”

i tested it too.
i tested it in my computer and my friend’s computer, the same result, i dont’ think this is a big issue, but it make me feel not comfortable. i wish the opera team will soon fix it!

After reading Richard Rutter’s article and testing its samples, I was surprised to find out that Opera 9.64 on Ubuntu did indeed render weight for fonts more accurately than it did on Windows.
You should try it out!

Is it possible to somehow share these (even without sharing the font file itself), so I can have a look at them and file the issues you mention?

The operlaps can be seen on my demo page:

The test of the different styles uses the free font family Delicious: http://www.josbuivenga.demon.nl/delicious.html
with numeric weight values and font-variant:small-caps.

I finally got around to test Opera 10b installed on Linux, Ubuntu 904. Works much better than Windows ! That is: it is on par with Opera 10b on OS X, same weaknesses & bugs, with the possible exception that synthetic bolding seems to work better on Linux than OS X.

PS – I also tested Opera 10b on OS X 10.3.9. @font-face works there as well. Kudo’s to Opera for pulling that one off.

I’m seeing the same thing as Philippe.
Otf fonts failing completely.

Did you try Opera 10beta on Windows ? Otf fonts fail completely, many of my test with ttf fonts fail as well. . That is both on XP and Windows 7. On Mac, those tests work – but not necessarily correctly as you point out.
I’m a bit disappointed here. Ok, it is a first beta release, but experience has shown me that, at Opera, not much changes between beta releases and final release. After all the noise Håkon Lie made about @font-face, I expected more – especially on the Windows side of things.

(and yeah, I know @font-face is a very difficult thing to implement, particularly on Windows, having followed the gecko development of @font-face very closely).

Ralf, thanks for the write-up.

Dustin is right when he says our support for @font-face is still a work-in-progress. Some features are not supported yet, and we’ll probably need to iron out a couple of bugs in our current implementation.

That being said, I’m interested in the source of the examples you feature in your post. Is it possible to somehow share these (even without sharing the font file itself), so I can have a look at them and file the issues you mention?
