I get a similar problem reading russian fonts, regardless of actual encoding
(well, my tests were on KOI8-R). Namely, the letter 'ё' ('yo') gets
rendered as '£' (english pound), while other letters were rendered
correctly. After tracking the problem a little further, I came to the
conclusion that the problem was actually in the font used, whichever
was the one that mozilla uses by default. It simply renders character
0xA4 as the russian letter 'yo' when in a KOI8-R character set. 0xA4 is
the english pound symbol in the latin1 charset.
Maybe Galeon is therefore not actually using the font you thought it was
using, but by default uses one of these broken fonts?
