I've just upgraded (briefly) from 090501 (r7386) to 090603 (r7703) and
encountered the same problem.
The last two messages in NetSurf's log file are
rufl_FONT_MANAGER_ERROR: 0x21e: angela.blackþÿÿÿ encoding not found
The Unicode font library could not be initialized.
I've no idea whether the ÿÿÿ characters are relevant), but removing the
font Angela from my system merely changes this to
rufl_FONT_MANAGER_ERROR: 0x21e: arnold.encodþÿÿÿ encoding not found
The Unicode font library could not be initialized.
I decided against removing any more fonts.

A real RPC running 4.02 here. Reverting to 090501 (r7386) has made the
problem go away.

Ditto.
Has anyone found a solution?
