The font you've chosen is missing some characters. http://j.hackerhub.org/unicode

What browser are you using? I can see all the characters. They have specified 'sans-serif' (which most of the times means Helvetica).

I'm on Chrome 13 and yes, I see all characters too, but Ż, ž, č, ą and ę are displayed in a fall-back sans-serif font. All others using Istok Web, as defined in the CSS. It doesn't look good.

It seems that Chrome is indulgent with the font-family declaration. There is an error in the CSS.

  font-family: 'Istok Web' sans-serif;

should be:

  font-family: 'Istok Web', sans-serif;

Firefox 7 ignore the above declaration showing the page in the default font. I have forced 'Istok Web' with firebug and yes it looks ugly.

That is really a dumb problem - I am sorry for this. I'll try out some other fonts by tomorrow
