Have you deleted or modified any fonts recently? Is it happening in other apps? In the View menu, what Text Encoding is selected? Do you have a theme changer installed?
 
I have not changed or deleted any fonts.
It doesn't happen in any other apps.
I have tried Western, Unicode and Default text encoding and all give the same results.
I don't have any theme changing software installed. (unless you want to count Candybar)

Anyone?
 
Here's the fix. I had the same problem

Go to:

Safari
Preferences
Advanced
"Never Use Font Sizes Smaller Than:" Set this to 12 or 14 point
Restart Safari
