Displaying of non-English chars

Why are non-English characters displayed in another font than the English ones (ex. Czech "ě") in the page titles? It looks really ugly, when each character of one word is different. Maybe it is just a problem of my system but I can see it both in Chrome and in Firefox.

the problem is not WikiTree... the problem is your browser, or more specifically, your OS, and the default fonts installed on your OS (which were probably designed by Microsoft)

This appears to be incorrect. It is a problem of the default fonts used by WikiTree for certain fields. It seems to be mainly confined to the title of the profile page, Josef Matějka (1902 - 1987) in this example, making it particularly aesthetically unappealing. I'm very much aware of this as I have many Czech profiles, but have shrugged it off as a cosmetic issue.
