I also face the same problem somtimes with the site gmx.net, when I use apache as a proxy. I have two identical installs of apache setup as proxy on two different machines. I used to get the black diamonds on either proxy. Then after a while the black diamond marks disappeared on one proxy but they still appear on the other. In Firefox I tried tweaking the charset but couldnt locate a charset which made those black diamonds disappear.

I wonder firstly if its a region problem - both the proxies are located in different geographies so does the webserver (gmx.net) do some automatic charset based on region.

Secondly I wonder if its a firefox problem.

Now that you mentioned it will look into more detail into the AddDefaultCharset directive and also compare FF vs IE.

I found two places where there was an AddDefaultCharset directive in

AddDefaultCharset off

restarted. Still no dice. Any other suggestions?

Then that means the documents probably aren't really in the charset
that you think they are in.  In firefox you can use "view->character
encoding" to adjust the character set and see which one works.
