It never happens to me in posts. It happens only on the FR Forum page.
My opinion is that it is a browser conflict. I think that FR is written for browsers other than IE.

These bad fonts stem from cutting and pasting apostrophes (’) and quotation marks (”).

Vertical works okay. It’s the slanted variety that has been giving trouble.

I’ve always pasted all parts of article posts into notepad, then to the forum.

When you copy from a web page, it copies as HTML into the clipboard with all that markup you don’t normally see.
Some text editors extract the textual content from the html prior to pasting which is what you really want.
Firefox has an addin called CopyText or something like that which does it for you without all the markup baggage.
You may loose line breaks and paragraph marks but...
To: tioga
It should be easy enough, we should only be posting one paragraph of an article anyway. Who says so? That's bull.

it’s not just quotes and apostrophes: there’s a whole bunch of other special characters that are being hosed.

Mmmmmm, upgrades.
My staff used to run screaming whenever we announced any kind of upgrade.
I feel your pain.
To: Jim Robinson
Apparently, there was an upgrade installed to the system software last week and something snafu’d internally. John’s working on it, but has not found the solution yet.Relief is on the way...
