You can't depend on having gtk or gtkwebkit or X11 - - sorry not there on many of the early models.

Which is why I suggested NetSurf-FB (frame buffer version - it does not require any of the above stuff).

What version of NetSurf did you build?
Try the developement head (or whatever is the most recent that passed their auto-builder).

The problem with non-ascii characters in the FB version sounds like something I read the other day had been fixed.
Might be fixed only in git-head.
