IE6 Not display fonts correctly

I have 2 computers one of which displays fonts incorrectly when viewing
various sites on IE6, e.g http://www.pcfriend-online.com/ . an example is
this character "Â" which occurs frequently instead of spaces. I can correct
the display temporarily by changing to Unicode (View, Encoding, Unicode) but
this has to be done with every page viewed and is tiresome. How can I fix
this permanently

Hi David,
I may be wrong as web page encoding is not my strong point. I visited the
site and all was fine with my puter. I can only guess that you have some
strange font selected for Internet Explorers default font ( as there is no
font tags in the sample page you supplied). Usually I have Auto-detect
selected for View>Encoding

To check your font settings select the Tools>Internet Options menu and on
the General tab select the Fonts button.
Here are my settings

Language Script: Latin based

Web Page font: Comic Sans MS (you may choose whatever here from your own
list of installed fonts)

Plain text font: Courier New (use the default that is selected when you
choose the web page font above)

I just had a play around with some Hebrew fonts that I have installed. It
did not seem to make a difference, so I could be completly wrong! Ha. Check
what settings you have for fonts on your good puter!

Are the settings at View | Encoding the same?

The settings seem to revert to Western Euopean ISO for that site whether
Autodetect is selected or not, if thats what you mean.
