	This seems to only happen in Safari, but on certain websites when the font seems to be small or a certain face (possibly arial under 9pt?), the type is shown in a wierd language that i cannot read, shapes, symbols.. Now, most sites are fine and the type is ok, but as i said, on certain sites when its looks like a smaller face i get probs, i copy and paste this into textedit and its comes up correct... wierd *not this happened in my finder on some apps like in the disk utility until i repaired permissions then its seems ok in the finder itself. any ideas?
