Seems opera on your machine fails to load any xft fonts. In opera 10 we turned of 
using X11 bitmap fonts by default. If we fail to load any Xft fonts we will fall
back to load core fonts as before, but only after printing the message you saw.

with -debugfont one should get the list of xft fonts that are located (as shown below)
Do you not get that at all?
