epiphany shows wrong colours

I filed this bug at the epiphany bugtracker (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777355) and was pointed to filing it here.

epihpany is not able to render webpages correctly on my PowerPC system (see below). Either the colours are wrong (see screenshot) or the page does not render at all but only shows funky characters (see screenshot). epiphany was built with webkit 2.14.2.

I was uncertain to which component I should file the bug so I used "New Bugs" for the time being.

epiphany shows garbled charaters

webkit 2.14.5 seems to have fixed the wrong colours issue, but the garbled characters issue persists.
