www.gentoo.org doesn't display correctly in galeon

Has anyone else noticed that the gentoo web pages don't display correctly in galeon? Sometimes they display ok, and sometimes they appear all garbled. Then if I reload the page, sometimes it clears up. It usually shows up as random characters in mixed bold and italic and some of it with strikeouts. It's very weird.

Here's a copy of www.gentoo.org/doc/build.html that shows this:

If you want to start from a stage1 tarball, then you're already set to go; you can find the stage1 tarball in /cdroot/nocompress. On the other hand, if you would prefer to start from a stage2 or stage3 tarball that has >vtn a bifrtition< td>/hda2 rock-1f't consi>unOll in

Anyone know what's going on?

I've been using Galeon since April or so. Don't think I've ever noticed this. Currently using Galeon 1.2.5-r1

I have seen this fairly consistently with Mozilla 1.0 and 1.1 under Gentoo. It happens to me often enough that I tend to use links to read the gentoo.org docs.

I've never seen this happen, always used Mozilla, currently using 1.1

One other thing that might be relevant is that I'm using a junkbuster proxy. I'll try putting gentoo.org in the "no proxy" override section and see if that improves matters.

you might want to check your charset settings.

ah, true. www.gentoo.org does uses gzip compression, so that might be it. maybe one should test with different HTTP networking options (mozilla allows sites, dunno for galeon...)

Hmm..... I get this in links - I have to use lynx to view the docs.

Turning off keepalive fixes this for me.
