Hi click2world, It could be related to the theme you’re using. Can you please report which theme you have active, and maybe try switching themes briefly to see if the issue persists?

The issue seems to be that your site calls for the font ‘Source Sans Pro’ and the CSS sets the font weight to 300, but the font you’re pulling from Google does not have a 300 weight. If I change the CSS (in chrome) to use a weight of 400, it looks fine.
Fix with this CSS
body {
font-weight: 400;
}
To add CSS: If you are using WordPress 4.7, use the “Custom CSS” option in the customizer. If your theme has a custom CSS option, use that to add the CSS shown above. If not, install the plugin Simple Custom CSS. Or, if you have Jetpack installed, enable its Custom CSS module.
Learn to use the Chrome Developer Tools to help you see and test changes to your CSS.
@sterndata thanks but seems that doesnt solve it as you can see that the some words didnt register complete characters, e.g. in the first line, “In tоdау’ѕ globalized wоrld, whеrе buѕіnеѕѕеѕ hаvе …”, if you use ctrl+f to search “today”, it wont identify it. Same goes for “o” in “world”, “e” in “where”, “e” and “s” in “business” and “have”, etc.
Can you guide on how i can locate “Tools” tab in MS Word 2007 and above? thanks once again

What does MS Word have to do with this?
If you’re writing content in Word, it’s best to copy it and then paste as text using the “Text” icon on the editor toolbar?
as i said at the begining of this thread, it’s only content i copied from ms word that suffered this fate. if i type directly in wp, it displays normal, hence the other link i posted of an old post solving similar challenge but that was for ms word 97 or below. Hope you understand me now? thanks again

It may be that word is putting in some invisble characters. With the CSS above, I fixed the issue. You might try pasting from Word into Notepad, then from Notepad into WP.
@sterndata you’ve been wonderful and i appreciate your time, thanks a million
as you can see in the attached, i dont think it is caused by font size css as you suggested above. the screenshot was done using your suggestion, i copied to notepad then to wp
but still, many words did not register all alphabets (i’m using wp4.7.3), thanks again
