Description

Some UTF-8 characters aren't getting displayed, while some are.

screen shot 2014-09-17 at 10 57 15 am Should say Możliwość przesuwania obszaru

Other international characters show up just fine such as screen shot 2014-09-17 at 10 57 21 am

The problem probably is with our font?

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).

BTW found this via the civic issue finder itself.

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.

Możliwość przesuwania obszaru
