Why is this happening? I'm using Windows 7 32bit with the latest stable Chrome build.

Odd - I don't see this problem in the latest version of Chrome on Windows 7. Does it occur in other browsers? Have you changed the default character encoding for your browser? – nhinkle♦ Jan 1 at 22:40
I don't have this problem with IE9. I have no idea what character encoding is so if u can tell me what the default is, I'll change it. – Notorious Arab Jan 1 at 22:43
Does this happen on all websites or just this particular one? – ephilip Jan 1 at 22:44
I've seen it happen on another website before but I just ignored it. I assume they use the same character encoding. – Notorious Arab Jan 1 at 22:48
See if it is a font item superuser.com/questions/355084/… – Psycogeek Jan 7 at 1:30

This site displays correctly on Firefox, so I think that your problem is font corruption in Chrome or in Windows.

A look in the site's css file shows this line :

body{font:13px/1.231 "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Segoe,"Segoe UI","Segoe WP",Calibri,Arial,clean,sans-serif;*font-size:small;}

As the fonts are tried by order, and as I don't think that the second entry of Helvetica can be corrupted without you noticing it, then you might have a bad font named "Helvetica Neue". Try to search for it in Control Panel -> Fonts.

Otherwise, I would suggest to completely uninstall Chrome using Revo Uninstaller Freeware, ensuring that all its directories were deleted, then reinstalling.

Fixed it by downloading the default fonts here: withsteps.com/404/… and re-installing them. Thank you. – Notorious Arab Jan 8 at 0:36

Click the Wrench icon, then go to Tools > Encoding. Try changing the encoding and see if that works.
