We shouldn't be using fonts that don't have enough character coverage for the locales we support. We should either get a better version of Komikax, or switch to a font that has full coverage.

FYi, it's not just Slovenian, I check a few other languages (Azerbaijani, Czech, Turkish, etc.) and it also appears broken.

OK. I have tried to find a replacement, but didn't found any similar font to replace Komikax. Do you have any preference, what can we use, or just replace it with Open Sans?

A related issue, maybe deserving it's own bug, but for what I can tell current Open Sans font file does not support entities like ­ (soft hyphen). And Open Sans generally does support them so this issue is specific to how it's used on SUMO.

Some examples of fonts that support the soft hyphen: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/ad/fontsupport.htm At this stage, I am more than fine with anything that looks decent AND supports all the different locales we have to replace Komikax. The alternative is to make that part of the page an image, and then work with localizers to get those images made in their preferred font.

Um, it may have been that I was looking at a string that wasn't packed enough to actually need that break. Sorry for the noise.
