Well, as you know, Microsoft also set some of the codes reserved for control characters to graphics characters in their editors, and it might be an effect from that as well. There is a little perl script called Demoroniser which can clean up websites from that mess and keep the web author from looking dumber than a bag of dirt when the site is viewed from a non-microsoft platform. There is also a potential in linux for different character encodings to produce this efect for some characters. As a matter of fact, I see some "?" characters in this mail I am replying to (Using mozilla with iso-8859-1). Civileme
