Public bug reported:
The current @font-face for the site is PT Serif, and it is used to
render all text and information elements on the site. The glyph coverage
of PT Serif is quite extensive (Western European, Basic Cyrillic,
Turkish, Baltic, Romanian). However, it does not support all glyphs that
might appear on the site.
Specifically, it does not include all glyphs that will appear on an
orthography native_name, nor all glyphs that could appear in
missing_values.
This leaves open the possibility that on some font profiles, certain
glyphs will be displayed in PT Serif and other which this font lacks
will be rendered in the back up font of the font stack.
To mitigate this, the CSS should specify that all native_name and
individual glyphs in the missing_glyph list have the style set to "font-
family: serif;" by default.
