The problem probably is with our font?

Tasks

The font Freight Text is now gone, replaced by browser default Georgia. Try switching from http://style.codeforamerica.org/1/ as the style base to http://style.codeforamerica.org/2/to see if the new version of the CfA CSS fixes this issue (and doesn't introduce any new problems).

another approach might be to place a lang="" attribute on elements which are not in english and then set the font-family as needed in the stylesheet; e.g. <style>:lang(pl) {font-family: serif;}</style>
