[Bug 410069] Re: Wrong font used to display Cyrillic text

[RFW]

The same substitution turns out to be quite common on webpages in the
less common languages. The easiest way of seeing this is to go to
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias and then click on
various languages in the second column to get the language page in its
own script. (If you click on the name in the first column, you get the
English language page on that language.)

I see this kind of substitution in:

Lombardic: http://lmo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lengua_Lumbarda

Yoruba: http://yo.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%88d%C3%A8_Yor%C3%B9b%C3%A1

Nahuatl: http://nah.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C4%81huatlaht%C5%8Dlli

and so on.

It is probably important that this substitution rarely affects an entire
page. It affects only some of the text in most instances, and you can
have perfectly good text next to substituted text. On the Nahuatl page,
the table that starts with

<table id="toc" class="toc" summary="Inīn tlahcuilōlco">

Most of the text is displayed as expected, but the text

# 5 Netlahtolmachtiloni

    * 5.1 Caquiztilizmatiliztli

is displayed using the crummy substitute even though each line in the
table has the same HTML structure.
