Apparently Opera 12 contains a new Font Engine and there are many
reports of people having font issues. Basic answers are try to disable
hardware acceleration in Opera (it is disabled by default), use a
different font/remove the misbehaving font from your system, or
downgrade to Opera 11 until they improve the new version.
None of that really explains why you have one system that works and
one that doesn't, of course. I suggest you file a support request/bug
report with Opera, since they are the only ones who can fix their
program.
