This is a known problem (others have reported the same problem), but it is 
not a bug in KDE.  It is a configuration problem and I do not know exactly 
what the problem is or specifically how to fix it.

KDE uses Qt and Qt uses FontConfig, Xft[2] and FreeType2 to display fonts. 
  If they are not installed and configured properly, you will have 
problems.  In addition, Mandrake had added some of its own font stuff.

Possibly this is a Mandrake issue and you could get more specific help on a 
Mandrake list.

NOTE: I did try 3 of the URLs and they displayed perfectly.

Sorry that I can't be of more immediate help.
