cannot properly view cfm files with ColdFusion builder

I am just starting out with ColdFusion, and have installed it along with ColdFusion builder 2. I've created a project in cf builder 2 which was initialized with the cfdocs and CFIDE folders. However, when I try to view the cfm files that are contained within those folders (such as Application.cfm or homepage.cfm) using the editor, most of the time I get replacement/invalid characters (�, []) scattered throughout the text. Is there a reason for it/way to view the files normally? It seems files that come with ColdFusion builder/ColdFusion/adobe stuff should be rendered properly.

They are compiled if you're talking about .cfm/.cfc in /CFIDE. Adobe is not sharing the source with us on those. :)

You can compile your own cfm's using cfcompile
