In some pages, character code shows up in a weird stylized font that is not readable. My settings are in Unicode UTF-8 and in Preference, fonts are Western. Why would it select the font Westwood LET Plain and Zapfino? I even tried to uninstall and reinstall Firefox but nothing changed.

You can do a check for corrupted and duplicate fonts and other font issues:

Thanks Cor-el I had resolved the issue temporarily by changing the default font to something that didn't glitch. Your link and suggestion to review and validate fonts from the Font Book is the best way to make sure the issue stops. NOTE: Make sure you verify each fonts that may cause problems (duplicates) before deleting them... lost one that I liked by selecting all and confirming to resolve duplicates all at once ... :( not good. Cheers.
