Can anyone explain why my smashingmagazine.com page is not displaying headings properly?

For example, on this "Post a new topic" page, the page header in green shows:
pa~eUaaO^aaci aAEa Eaie (with lots of accents and dots on the letters),
but cut/paste it and here it is: Smashing Announcements .

Please see attached screen shot.

Thanks,

The culprit: Helvetica_0.ttf !

I noticed Smashing's first font was Helvetica, so I found this file online and installed it on Vista. There was the problem. Bad font.

Many others have had this problem with "free" Helvetica fonts.

I deleted the file and Smashing looks smashing again!

This happens to me too, on various sites, but only in Firefox.
IE8 doesnt give that issue at all.
