I'm not a computer savvy but here's my two cents: I had similar appearance on some websites and they were resolved by downloading and installing the special Farsi font they provided. But in this case, since the Farsi characters do show up in other browsers, I don't think that would work. But here is another fact: if you are on Mac platform, you better look for another browser (other than IE5). Shortly after Apple introduced Safari, MS announced that they stopped developing IE for Mac. They really don't like competition! that means that the IE version you have (5.2 I presume) is the last browser ever made for Mac by Microsoft, and 5.2 is already quite old. If you try Safari, you'll see that it is much faster than IE 5 and it is catching up on some features that IE excels.(security signatures for online banking for example) Since MS will not upgrade IE for Mac, there is a possibility that the improvements in Panther will have no effect in IE performance. (browser has to be geared to text engine of OS and IE apparently is not) By the end of this coming weekend, after I installed Panthers, I may have more to say on this.
