The order TITLE and META elements seems to cause the trouble.  In this
page, TITLE element is put before META element nevertheless TITLE
element should be put after META element.  So Lynx can't determine the
title's character-set and shows "mojibake" characters.  If you change
the order of two elements, you can get a result as expected.

Just for your information, it doesn't seem to depend on my patch.
I wrote tree examples.  Setting D.C.S. to us-ascii...

  (1) title_meta.html
    --> TITLE: AYENA-c-A(c)
        BODY: YEN-c-(c)

        TITLE is wrong because TITLE element is put before META element.

  (2) no_meta.html
    --> TITLE: AYENA-c-A(c)
        BODY: AYENA-c-A(c)

        TITLE and BODY are wrong because there isn't META element.

  (3) meta_title.html
    --> TITLE: YEN-c-(c)
        BODY: YEN-c-(c)

        TITLE and BODY are correct because TITLE element is in right
        place.
