On my Ubuntu (actually Kubuntu) box, using Chrome, I get a full set of characters on this page.
The same page on Chrome on my Windows 7 box gives mostly the "missing character" boxes. So I have exactly the reverse problem that you have!
On my Lubuntu, I get several missing character symbols in Firefox, Opera and Chromium. The fact that it's working on Marks gives cause for hope that it can be "fixed". I suspect that it's font files not installed on Bev's and my computers, but I don't know which ones.
So try installing fonts, or try different browsers. Not very helpful I'm afraid.
Looking at the html code for the page, it uses at two style sheets. This one:

Lists some fonts, but exactly what they apply to is beyond me... Search for font-family and you'll see several. You could try installing them, if they're available.
Also, if it's primarily French characters that's causing you a problem, perhaps you could try installing a "Language Pack" in firefox. Tools/Add Ons/Language. I've got a British one installed. Presumably there's an equivalent for French. I seem to remember that there are also Language options available to Ubuntu, somewhere in the menu structure - try installing French there too.
Good luck. Steve
