I was using Courier (plain old Courier) because it was the default.  I
suppose I never noticed because I usually browse in OmniWeb, which does
not do this hateful thing.

Courier New is "better" in that it doesn't screw up spacing, but it's
even uglier.  I've switched Safari to use Monaco.  (Normally I use
ProFont for things like terminals and gVim.)

Another fun thing that was being ligated?  dashes into emdashes.
