    What am I supposed to be looking at on your example? Surely a screen of what it looks like on yours would be more help?

    What OS? What browser?

    Press Print Screen on your keyboard and then Go to paint, edit -> paste it and then save as a jpeg and upload it here.

    Guy on another forum I go to had a similar problem, it was caused by a corrupt Helvetica Font in Windows (find out which yours uses and view them, go Start Menu->Settings->Control Panel->Fonts).

    Try change the font which Firefox/IE uses for webpages
    Tools->Options->Content->Fonts and Colours.

    After that, it could be an encoding problem, don't know much about that though. :\

    How do I know which one mine is using? In the control panel it just gives lists of them and I can't see which it is set to....

    For firefox it is using Times New Roman...
