Text is ok for a while and the it messes up. Also, if you follow links, the
beginnings of the texts are ok and then they mess up, so looks like a global
problem of the whole website.
Works fine in IE.

I believe I found a problem. I have a default language set to Central European
(8859-2). If I load the page in this language, page messes up. BUT, when I
change language from CE to Western (8859-1) fontset, everything works OK
(except some Slovenian characters of course). And when I set fonts back to
8859-2, it worked just fine then. I believe, the page itself stays in cache, so
when I switched the language, only the cached variant of the page was being
processed. Obviously, for the first time when you load the page, there is
something that it can't be processed in CE fontset or what?

Reporter:
Could you please provide a detail reproduce steps if there is any? cause it
works for me when I set the default font to Central European or charset to
iso-8859-2.  Thanks!

Wow, today I revisited the page in CE by default and everything worked for the
first time. Even some pages I haven't visited yet work fine (cache)... I'm not
pretty sure what happened. Maybe administrator changed the content...
