When typing accents or displaying webpages with accents in them, Firefox would use weird characters instead

This happens specially with Gmail and when viewing some webs in Spanish. The characters look like Greek letters. I sent mails from Gmails from different computers and no problem. When I returned to this emails from my computer they were wrongly displayed again. So I deduce this is a problem only with my computer displaying accents and Ñ. This won't happen with other programs such as Word. It happens on Safari as well.
