That is a server-side setting. It is not pushing the proper MIME type
for SVG. We had this on the docs.fedoraproject.org servers the first
time we put up the SELinux Guide; and it wasn't universal, only some
servers had the MIME type wrong, so it was harder to figure out.
I'm not sure about the chunking stuff; let's see how it looks once you
fix the MIME type.

I think is also server-side, it's pushing the wrong character set.
Can you confirm the server is set to use UTF-8? It is likely using ISO
8859, which was Apache default for a while (still?)

Are you also seeing the character problems on a local copy or just
from the server?
