Garbled Safari fonts...?

I'm using Safari 2.0.4 on OS X 10.4 and I keep having this problem:

How do I fix this?

ps: the webpage featured is just the english version of Wikipedia.

Update:

I've already changed my preferences and reset defaults and all that fun stuff... I'm a graphic designer so I have thousands of fonts (including dozens of Times and Couriers) so I checked and rechecked that none of those were corrupt... still having issues though. BTW I use Suitcase Fusion to organize my fonts.

    interesting! Looks like tamil or arabic!

    Safari can assume different fonts or use the ones you've elected to use!

    Go to Preferences -> Appearance, and change it to

    Times 16

    Courier 13

    Western (ISO Latin 1)

    reasonable defaults!

    If your Times or Courier is corrupted by your playing with it, choose other fonts

    UPDATE:

    Arghhh! Suitcase stuff!

    make a simpler set of fonts for Safari (and other browsers). I'm sure it's just picking up the wrong font.

    Unless you have discovered the first wild virus on OS X, and it only attacks folks with lots of fonts!
