Strange font problem when publishing to the Web, Publisher 2003

Hello all,

Have a client who is trying to move a website created in Publisher 2003 from
an IIS server to an Apache server. When he moves it, the Apache-hosted one
throws a bunch of question marks up where extra spaces, tabs, quotation
marks, and apostrophes are used. Anyone run into this problem? Looks find in
Web Page Preview, and on the IIS server, just when it's hosted on a specific
Apache server that it gets weird.  

Here's the working site:
http://www.temeculachicken.com
And here's the Apache version:
http://arrowwood.viviotech.net/~chickenkitchen

Using standard fonts in the publisher file (Arial, Trebuchet MS). Wonder if
this is actually an Apache problem, or a Publisher problem?

Thanks in advance.

From the FAQ page:

Q.  On my published web page I'm seeing question marks or other incorrect
characters in my text.
A.  Under Tools, Options, Web, change encoding to Unicode UTF8. This is
caused by using an unsupported character or formatting. So ideally you just
remove the formatting or character, and keep the default encoding.

More to the point:
Q.  Paragraph text on the web page is not a accurate reproduction of the
text box in the web publication.

A.  This is most typically due to the use of any type of Paragraph
formatting to the text in the text box. Such formatting is for a print
publication, and not a web publication where the results will be
unpredictable. So do not apply things like - tabs, indents, line-spacing.
Font face and font size are to be the only formatting applied to text in a
web publication.
