I have been dissappointed in netscape and konqueror with the displayed
fonts. Some of them are absolutely horrible to try to read. I can change
the encoding to something to improve it sometimes, but it will never stay
set there. I'm puzzled as to why this is such a problem compared to
windoze. The problem also occurs in Staroffice's browser. This was also a
problem for me in previous versions, running MD 8.0 now
