Font rendering like Safari

Hi.

On Windows Opera was my favourite and only browser. When I swithed to a Mac a while back, it was not as stable, the scrolling sucked, and all in all it was a much worse experience than on Windows.

Now with release of 11.60 I was hoping to go back to Opera. Scrolling has definitely improved greatly. However, I've already grown accustomed to Safari's font rendering, and now everthing in Opera just seems too fat and boldy. Here is how it looks on my laptop:

Opera
Safari

Is there a way to tweak this thing, making fonts a bit leaner? I really wanna go back to Opera. smile

Thansk in advance.

While this extension might not be what you want exactly, it should be able to give you good-enough results-

According to users reviews, it is currently said by users as 'closest match to the genuine Mac OS X font rendering'.
Windows 7 SP1 x86 edition and Windows XP Service Pack 3.
