[users@httpd] ??text?? On serveral webpages are questionmarks (??) where text is suppost to be or what has to be clear

Hello,
I have set up apache on a fedora box:
Linux hostname.nl 2.6.9-1.667 #1 Tue Nov 2 14:41:25 EST 2004 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux
httpd-2.0.52-3

It al runs fine, but

On serveral pages are questionmarks (??) where text is suppost to be or
what has to be clear:

Examples:
http://www.afrekening.nl
http://www.t-t-n.nl/uitslagen/uitsl_04/Klaverjassen.htm (table)
http://www.zin-pa.nl/index_bestanden/slide0005.htm

I think it is caused because the html is made in Word or powerpoint or
other Microsoft #$!#$@ stuff.

How can I solve this behavior?

Thanx Nico

Find out what charset your pages are in.  Then use AddCharset in Apache
to get the server to send the correct charset.

They might be producing undefined junk.  In which case you'd need to
fix it up first.  See what a validator tells you about them.
