It doesn't seem to be a font issue because the same characters are
displayed correctly when I look at German web pages. The solution is maybe
to upgrade gettext in lynx so that it uses iconv? (unfortunately I don't
have an autoconf version that works with lynx to test whether
gettext-0.10.40 fixes this problem).
