How do I get rid of those annoying white-on-black "?" marks that pepper the text on some web pages

They don't appear in IE. "?" characters are on diamond shaped black background and overwrite characters underneath making it difficult to read the text.

A diamond indicates a problem with the font or the content of a web page. You get a diamond if the page uses an 8 bit encoding and the character can't be mapped. A possible cause is that the text was copied from another (Unicode) source and pasted on that website. IE probably shows a white box or nothing in such a case. It is also possible that the page is send with the wrong encoding by the server.

Can you post a link to a page where you see that?

Ok, it looks like it is trying to deal with accented characters in spanish. They however appear correctly in IE

Attached are screen grabs of the same page in FF and IE respectively
