What OS/browser combo were you using? Looks like a client-side font support issue.

I'm on Windows and Chrome. But my Chrome was several versions old on both computers (Version 69.0.3497.100). After the update things appear fine.

Shall we Decline then?

Yeah. Tested it in other browsers and it looks fine (although there are other problems) :)

Welp, spoke to soon. Just saw the same problem on a different box with a fully updated Chrome browser. Not a big deal at all, but it is apparently a real thing.

This might have magically Gone Away™ with this weeks' change to how the language labels are set – worth re-testing (on Beta Cluster).

Ramsey-WMF claimed this task.

This did indeed magically go away after numerous UI changes.
