You showed a screenshot earlier, I know what they look like for you. :) I don't override the font either. HN specifies a CSS font family "Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif", where Verdana is installed by default on Windows but is not a full sans-serif font, so it's a somewhat odd choice by HN. As for the English alphabet, I didn't say there was a problem with it, just that you cannot reliably tell just from looking at letters which letters they are. In practice it is not an issue.
