Strange fonts in place of smashingmagazine.com headings

Rules, guidelines and official announcements are posted here.
   
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,
Nathon

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.
