when the results of a Google search include a PDF, Google offers to
display it as plain text. but it comes out as nonsense in Netsurf
(r9629): all the lines of text seem to be piled on top of one another.
at least in this example:

Is the original pdf just an image file served up as a pdf?
As pdf's from the http://whatdotheyknow.com site viewed as html work
fine if they are not purely image files, as these two examples show.

True, but if you SHIFT-click on the link displayed above the
nonsense, the pdf file downloads and can be read in e.g. !PDF without
any problem.

I'm puzzeled. whent I click on that link I don't get any 'piling'
(Netsurf 2.1) and clicking the link at the top of the page
(not SHIFT-click) downloads the PDF.
But I see with r9640 (26 Aug 2009 11:30) I do get the 'piling'
but still do not need to SHIFT-click to get the PDF.

Ditto - it's obviously a problem with the recent development versions.

Also no problem with r8643 (21 Jul 2009) which was the last build before the
memory grabbing problems started.
