I also have a RH machine: RH 9.0 with a few updates. And in Mozilla
here it looks fine. I tried changing the character encoding in
View->Character Coding->  but not much happened. wget also collected
it happily. I don't see any double spaces.

Since I am also using RH 9.0 and Mozilla, I am not sure it's a
bug in those. Perhaps I or you have something "different" in a
setting somewhere, but I can't think what it could be. 

I don't have any fancy fonts installed, and I have told Mozilla
nothing special about "use this font". The only change I have
ever made is to tell it always to have a minimum font size.
