Non-English characters don't render properly #810

There are no support for Cyrillic characters in the Fakt font. So on Windows even in the interface it replaced by some built-in font (Arial, I suppose) and looks terrible and out of style. For details please find the screenshot attached. n1_cyr

Oh man that does look awful. We're in touch with the font foundry that makes Fakt, but we may not be able to get Cyrillic characters into it. Is there another font that would be better for us to fall back to for characters in that range? We could definitely provide a font-face alternate for that unicode range.

@bengotow I'm not a designer (not even a dilettante) and not sure that the listed fonts are suitable for the interface but personally I like Formular, Museo Sans, 20 Kopeek, Raleway, Geometria, Open Sans. As I remember Nimbus Sans is also free and could be a good fallback option too. Hope it can help somehow.

Hi, Bengali characters are also not showing well, specially the joint characters are breaking apart.
