Windows 7
SeaMonkey 2.49.4

The body of the article uses a font named "FB Web Use Only".  However,
the mangled "Tübingen" is a mixture of that font and Georgia.  The
source does not show a change of font for "Tübingen".  I see the problem
in both SeaMonkey and Internet Explorer.

If I change my preferences at [Appearance > Fonts] to uncheck the
checkbox "Allow documents to use other fonts", the problem is resolved.
This causes the page to render with my choice: Georgia 5.00.
