[Bug 221555] [NEW] weird character encoding on about and error pages

[gergnz]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

On the about:plugins and any error pages (eg site not find or the new
SSL pages) I get weird characters.  If I remove the style "view->page
style->no style" the problem goes away, but of course the page isn't
nicely rendered anymore.

I have tried changing the character encoding "view->character encoding"
but no luck.

This is a fresh install of hardy, from the RC. (totally up to date now)
