Everything below   is dependent on which fonts and character sets
FF knows about (See View -> Character Encoding). You run into problems
when the original was not created using a font FF knows about or is not
correctly specified in the page. You can sometimes "fix" the problem of
a page not correctly specifying the font by forcing FF to use the
correct font for the page through the View -> Character Encoding menu
item (e.g., you know what language was used when the page was created).
