problem with text encoding on meme.yahoo.com
As per title. Gibberish is displayed in the search box. Issue arises when non-unicode system local set to "English (United States)" (on Windows 7). Strangely, upon setting it to "Japanese (Japan)" or any other East-Asian languages, the issue can be resolved .

This issue can be caused by the bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or another (bitmap) font that can't be displayed by Firefox in that font size. Firefox can't display that font in the specified size and displays gibberish instead. You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or find a True type version of that font that doesn't have the problem. ..... See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_fonts#Gibberish
