Hi,

Thanks to Luke Crouch in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626258, I can finally see
the new home page in French on https://developer-stage9.mozilla.org/fr/

It looks great, except for a few characters in the headers (for example,
click on "Documentation" in the home page and see the header "Sujets
clés pour les développeurs Web".

The characters looking wrong with the font used are accentuated letters
like 'É' or 'À', which unfortunately are quite common in French.

If I'm not mistaken, the font used there is called 'Bebas Neue'. I found
a test drive for this font at
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/bebas-neue and the accentuated
characters seem to display just fine there. I assume the version used on
MDN is either too old or too limited in character range.

Can someone have a look at this? Or should I open a new bug?

I see what you mean. Opening a new bug is the way to go.

The problem is already fixed on the test site! Great!

Just to let you know, I later found out French wasn't the only language
affected. It was also visible in Spanish ('Documentación') and German
('Schlüsselthemen für Web-Entwickler ').
