Major difference is I'm using RHL9/XD2 and you're using Mdk9.1.

Ditto.

*However* on RHL9/XD2 there is a bug which means that GtkHTML doesn't
pick up on what the default GNOME Terminal Font is (mine's set to Vera
Sans Mono 10pt), and as a result seems to use the system default
monospace font as defined by fontconfig (which in this case is Luxi
Mono). That bug has already been reported.

I'm not sure about the latter. They *might* be related.

Yes, it certainly is a strange one.
