OK - found the problem. It is the Verdana font that I have installed
that causes it. The website uses external CSS link files that have
font-family:verdana, helvetica,... If I remove the stylesheet
(verdana font), then it renders correctly using my default (Times
Roman).
I am now going to delete the Verdana I have (quirky) and re-installing
it from http://simplythebest.net/fonts/fonts/verdana.html. Maybe
that'll solve my problem. Thanks all!
Sid
