Web Browser displays characters incorrectly

Hi there,

I've recently bought a Nokia E90 and have found it pretty cool so far, except for one thing: the Web Browser is not displaying characters correctly. It shows almost all of them as empty rectangles, with just one or two exceptions.

I've checked several web pages (including ones that I maintain and which, therefore, I know send correct character encoding information), both online and local and it happens on all of them.

I've tried changing the settings to "Automatic" character encoding and "UTF-8" and it doesn't make any difference (I haven't tried any of the others, though most of them are for non-Latin alphabets).

The characters display correctly throughout the rest of the OS (notes, QuickOffice, Acrobat Reader, etc.) - its just the Web Browser which is effected.

The only significant changes I've made from factory settings are installing three applications: Python, PuTTY and OggPlay. I removed OggPlay after I installed it because it didn't seem to work (in fact, it sort of "crashed" the phone - I had to remove the battery to get it to work again!).

Does anyone have any ideas why the Web Browser is not displaying characters correctly? Any help would be very much appreciated (considering how expensive the phone is!)

Thanks.

What kind of language do you have in those web pages?

I mean my Finnish E90 browser does not support for instance chinese/mandarin language (only squares)...
