False character set in Safari since Sonoma Update

Safari shows Thai characters in Facebook, Booking and other pages since the Sonoma Update. This only since the update and only on Safari but not in my other browsers. Any idea? I have the same problem on all machines. Studio, M1 MacBook Pro and M1 mini.

Mac Studio, macOS 14.0

Safari showing unusual characters after upgrade Since I updated to Sonoma 14.0, some pages in Safari appear with text characters like the ones I have provided in the screenshot attachment. When I fill in text, sometimes it looks fine and other times, letters and characters appear similar to these. However, when I copy/paste text from these pages, it appears normal. Is there a solution?

Safari pages in wrong language after Sonoma upgrade. This is a strange problem. For certain websites, Safari displays pages in an incorrect language. If I copy and paste text to another app, it pastes in English. What's truly odd about this is the inconsistency. It doesn't happen on all sites. Wikipedia, X's embedded in other pages displaying in English, and certain ads display incorrectly. This same behavior does not appear in other apps, including Firefox. My language settings are correct, as are my Safari settings. Screenshots: Safari - Firefox - Please note: "Read Wikipedia in your language" button in Safari thinks it's already displaying English, so adjusting the settings here is not effective.

PA in Safari Search Bar Not Working Whenever I type the letters pa on the Safari Search Bar, these letters disappear. So I can't write words like "pain," "parrot," or "past." It is very disturbing and annoying. I have to use Chrome or go to google.com to avoid this. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

There is no connection with "Thai" there. Those are all Latin characters, it looks like a conflicting font of some sort.

Again: Have you tried Restore Standard Fonts in the Font Book app?

Thank you for your great help. The restoring to standard solved it.
