Description
The typefaces chosen, while "open" in their use of an OFL (Open Font License) are missing several possible glyphs, accents, pairings, etc, that result in visual errors on names that aren't provided in the baseline glyphs many typefaces (and their font implementations) overlook due to their mostly western centric view of language.
