I installed some other fonts.

The problem is that I use the Bitstream Vera (Sans/Serif/Mono) and
whatever other fonts in both galeon AND firefox and I see the Euro sign
in galeon but not in firefox, see:

http://tud.at/~bs/bug/eurobug_firefox.png vs.
http://tud.at/~bs/bug/eurobug_galeon.png

and in the topology...alpha.php case all cirillic characters are there
in galeon but some of them are missing in firefox:

http://tud.at/~bs/bug/alpha_firefox.png vs. 
http://tud.at/~bs/bug/alpha_galeon.png

If I would see no foreign text the problem would be easy: the bug is
that I do not see SOME of them.

Mike, try to understand there is a problem. I do not know what it is and
I also do not have the knowhow to track it down myself alone - but be
sure this is not a 'the dummy user forgot to install basic fonts' case.

Thank you for your understanding and efforts, however.
