It would be great to see if a font support non-latin characters (like cyrillic), because by default browsers will substitute missing characters and it looks ugly (see screenshot)

Some fonts support it, btw. If you need help in finding out which fonts from catalogue are supporting cyrillic, I'll glad to help.

For example, Lato supports. marin_000shot2014-12-01151149 1

Thanks for this! I'll definitely keep this in mind for the upcoming redesign (#87). I'll likely be showing unicode ranges and/or displaying the full character set.
