The page lies about its character set, so the only way to view it is to

interface, which on North European and US versions, has the right
character set.
This is fairly typical ignorance, by Windows users, of character set
issues.
I'd chalk it up to general technical incompetance. Checking the webpage
at the moment with Opera and viewing source, I see a syntax error (missing
quote):
<!--AUTOS -->^M
<div class="tabContent tabContentActive id="autos">^M
<div class="editColumn">^M
<div class="story">^M
<div class="callout">^M
otoh, the font changes to NYT webpage a few months ago make it equally
unreadable in every browser that I've used on it - so I wouldn't single
out Windows users...
