The purl page has 4 different webfonts.

We only use dejavu_sansextralight for the h1 page title. This is the dark text on a light background in the screenshot below. We use "Source Sans Pro Light" for the "Stanford Digital Repository" text. So my question for designers, is can we replace dejavu_sansextralight with "Source Sans Pro Light"?

My memory is Source Sans didn't have glyphs for all the things we want glyphs for (Cyrillic diacritics?)

@cbeer It looks like Source Sans 3 added a bunch of characters. Do you happen to know how we could find and test one of the ones that gave s trouble?

The data we need to support is pokazanii͡a ochevidt͡sa This doesn't render correctly in "Source Sans Pro" or "Source Sans 3". It does render correctly in DejaVu
