[1116] White Text on Black Fringing
Since 1105 I see this with pages having white text on black/very dark blue background:
*There some fringing, visible as blue shadows.
*Check it out on http://www.thedigitalbits.com, all pages featuring white text. I've ssen it on many other sites, too.
Do you have an LCD display?
"subpixel hinting" is a method where they actually track fractions of a pixel and use it for anti-aliasing. A screen pixel actually consists of 3 different colors placed next to each other (red, green, and blue) and so they may use these subpixels for fractions of a pixel. You can disable this feature in Windows itself if you find it annoying, though.

Yes LCDs. ClearType was created for LCDs, and I have set it accordingly [with the tool W7 comes with]. Windows resolution for both monitors is set to the native res of both Eizos respectively. I also use colour management and have calibrated the displays.
But both of these have no bearing upon what I observe, to wit, the fringing happens only in Opera - not Firefox, Chrome, IE 9 [32 and 64], or any other program. It also happens only with Opera 12 since build 1105, it did not happen in previous builds. This does not mean it is a bug, it also does not mean it can't be anything specific to my system.
PS: Radeon HD 6800 with current release [not beta] 11.9 driver.

On the page you quoted I see no fringing on the text.
However I see lots of blue vertical lines on the left of the page away from the text - is this supposed to happen? I assume it is, as it occurs in IE 9.0.8112.16421 64 bit too.
I'm using Windows Seven Ultimate, Opera Next 12.00 build 1155, Acer AL2023 (20" non-widescreen LCD [I hate widescreen on computers, widescreen is for television]).
Have you run through the cleartype tuner in Windows 7? Does text look ok while you're doing the tests?
