There is an Opera package in staging:

I've modified the Xservers line in /opt/kde/share/config/kdm/Xservers to
:0 local@tty1 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -dpi 96
(affects all applications)
(I'm using KDM and I also have a 17" Syncmaster monitor)
(I don't really know how to globally change this under other conditions)

You have to measure your display width and height size in inches. Then divide your resolution (in pixels) by the size and you will get current dpi. Sometimes this dpi is not "square" (like 96x100 dpi - run xdpyinfo to check it). You can change a little real measures to have nice 96x96 dpi as some people (including me) do. I usually use goalseek function from any worksheet application to find exact numbers.
For example:
Measured mm inch pixels dpi
width 332,74 13,1000 1280 97,71 =97dpi
height 271,78 10,7000 1024 95,70 =95dpi
Adjusted
width 338,67 13,3333 1280 96,00 =96dpi
height 270,93 10,6667 1024 96,00 =96dpi
To convert inches do milimeters multiply it by 25.4
The value for display size and 96dpi is:
DisplaySize 338 270
(I can't check it right now but xdpyinfo will tell you if it's exactly 96x96 dpi - if not try to increase/decrease the values by one or a few mm because they must be integers)
This is only an example not the real vaules. You have to calculate correct values yourself.

Thanks lanrat
I tinkered with the DisplaysSize you calculated and now i have nice, 96 dpi fonts. 8)
