<disclaimer>I didn't post this in Applications b/c I think its an OS issue, not specifically Safari.. but I only notice the issue in Safari (so far).</disclaimer>
At work one of the graphic designers mentioned an issue with fonts in Safari, specifically Wikipedia.
What happens is, instead of being in English, the fonts are (what appear to be) a middle eastern or Indian font. I can't pinpoint which one though. Initially I chalked it up to the international settings in system preferences, but that wasn't it. Then I thought maybe its just a Wikipedia issue (this happens on any Wiki, not just wikipedia), but it also happens on Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable.
Below are screenshots showing what is happening and what I have in the International settings of System Preferences. Any ideas on how to fix this?

The wikipedia article on automobiles renders fine for me. So it must be a problem with the wiki setting you chose. Maybe the site thinks it should render in whatever language that is. Try starting over: delete the wiki cookies, and choose English when you first go to the site.

In Safari, go to:
View > Text Encoding > Default
Otherwise, select UTF-8.
Change the text encoding in Firefox as well.
