Sela theme font doesn't support Slovak & Czech characters

Hi sisinaify,
The default font in Sela is named Source Sans Pro. While we do our best to use default fonts that support as many diacritical marks and special characters as possible, some fonts don’t have all the required glyphs (characters) to support every language.
You can see a list of supported glyphs in Source Sans Pro here:
https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Source+Sans+ProNote, some of these characters are only available in the Latin Extended set, I have put in a request with our theme team to see about getting the Latin Extended set added by default. Hopefully this will solve the problem for you.
To give some additional background, why you are seeing a difference in Safari and Chrome is that while both browsers are substituting characters in for the ones that don’t exist in the font . Chrome is doing so in a way that more closely matches Source Sans Pro.
Other solutions would be to switch to a theme with a default font that does support the Slovak & Czech characters or upgrade to a plan with Custom Design which will allow you to change the theme’s font.

Hi there sisinaify,
We’ve applied a patch that should fix the problem that you were experiencing. I’ve checked your site and it looks much better now.
Have a lovely day!
