It may have to do with locales and with the type of fonts that you
have selected in Settings->Preferences->Interface->Text Box
I have Bitstream Vera Sans 11, and some times I get garbage for simple
latin 1 characters such as ñ,ü,¡,¿ and so forth. usually it happens
when someone types it in a remote client. If I type it all see
it. Check this two things. Please report back your findings.
