Welcome, then.

Your page looks fine to me. I'm using Konqueror from KDE 2.2.1 (Red Hat 
7.2).  Try changing fonts. Konqueror works great for me. ven with heavy-duty 
Java (wit JRE installed) or Flash (Netscape plugins installed).

You might want to upgrade to KDE 2.2.2 (ftp.kde.org/pub/stable ): better, 
faster KDE & Konqueror.

Also, I develop using Quanta+ , included in RedHat 7.1/7.2 . Great for HTML 
development. I developed my website with Quanta+ (see bottom of page).

>The next question is can Konqueror be patched in some way to fix this?

Upgrade to KDE 2.2.2.
