Safari not displaying some web pages properly why?

I have been finding of late that safari does not display certain web pages properly. i.e.: text overlaps other text and is not formatted properly. This seems to have become more common lately. Even Apple's own apple info page does not display properly. Could this be a setting in safari that I have messed up somehow?

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), ipad , atv2, TC AE iphone4s
