I think I might have had the same problem.  I hacked around it --there
was something screwy about the way it was getting font information or
something-- but didn't bother to record the changes since someone
recommend w3m instead, which works better, although it has its share
of problems, too.

Installing w3m was pretty painless, plus it is (probably) faster.
