Sorry for bumping this old thread, but I'm experiencing the same problem and figured it would be pointless to make my own thread since there's still an opened thread about the same issue.
Has anyone found a proper solution? I am using SkyUI but I have no custom fonts installed to Skyrim.
HOWEVER I do have my Window's Font set to Roboto and I'm using the GDIPP Font Renderer. Albeit I've tried disabling GDIPP and the problem persisted.
Here's an image since the one in the OP is down: http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/1983/tesv2012021013510785.png
Disabling SkyUI did not make the problem cease... :/
Also, it doesn't always show the missing font sign.
Sometimes it will only show one letter (for instance a beggar in Windhelm shows up as "S") or will be a string of gibberish.
EDIT: I found the cause of the issue!
This was the cause for me but given the date of your posts I think it's safe to say it's not the same as what was causing it for you. Albeit I do believe the problem itself to be the same.
For me, it was caused by Plutoman's "Automatic Spells" mod seen here: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1345186-relzwipz-automatic-spells/
