Comment (by tomeu):

 Looks like the arab and urdu pages have wrong attributes in the html
 element:

 {{{<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"
 dir="ltr">}}}

 Changing 'en' to 'ur' or 'ar' makes those fonts appear correctly. The
 'ltr' bit looks to be incorrect also, but haven't found any difference
 when setting to one value or another.

 Please note that when you make this change, there's some trouble with some
 accented characters in the name of the languages in the menu on the right
 of the page. Any suggestion as to how to show correctly arab, urdu and
 west european encodings correctly in the same page?
