  There is a display problem at special (hungarian) characters in many themes. For examlpe in Twenty fourteen, and other premium themes ű and ő and í are displayed with other font type in post/page titles. Only solution is to use css? Some other themes work properly – font coding could be the problem. My blog is viktornagy.net, now would like to change theme, but see the problem in review mode.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Thanks for reporting this. I was able to duplicate the problem in Twenty Fourteen. What other themes did you notice this on? Happy to check those out too get to the bottom of what is going on for them all.

  Thanks!

  Hi! Thanx for fast reply.

  I checked many themes, and the problem is present for example at Oxygen, Untitled, Spun etc out of free ones and Watson, Infoway, Adventure, Bromley, Opti premium themes. There are even more, but these are really nice and functional themes.

  Can you solve this character problems, or should I choose other themes?
  If you need I can check more themes, and send all which have the same problem. I think this problem should appear also with French language/characters.

  Thank you

  Hi there,

  So I have looked into this, and the reason that you are seeing this font substitution on certain themes and not others, is due to the font that that theme is using. Specifically the font the theme is using is missing those characters, and so the nearest system font is being substituted instead.

  Can you solve this character problems, or should I choose other themes?

  Of course you can choose a theme that has good font support for your character set, but if you add the custom design upgrade to your account (found in the Store tab in your site dashboard) then you have the ability to change the fonts a theme uses, either with the custom font tool, or with CSS.

  You can learn more about the Custom Design upgrade here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/

  Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

  Hi!

  I understand, and I had the same thought about the problem.

  Dont you think that you could change the font in Twenty Fourteen, to support our special characters? As this theme is the “wordpress theme” it would be nice to use without any upgrade with any language – as it worked at its predecessors.

  If not than I have to chose css upgrade or other themes :(

  Hi there,

  Dont you think that you could change the font in Twenty Fourteen, to support our special characters?

  Absolutely. I have left a note with our engineers to fix this, as it will also be the “default” theme for many WordPress users world wide.

  In the meantime, if you would like to use the Twenty Fourteen theme on your site, the following CSS will help, and you can substitute the name of a different font (that has support for your characters) if you like as well.

  #page {
  font-family: sans-serif;
  }
