--- Comment #10 from Amir E. Aharoni <[email protected]> ---
OK, I was able to reproduce it. Indeed, this happens because ULS applies a
Thaana (Divehi) font to Persian text, and this produces weird results. The
right thing is to apply <div lang="fa">.

This is by design: ULS currently is only for selecting the interface language,
and the content language is a constant in LocalSettings. This may become easier
when bug 9360 is resolved.

This can probably be closed as INVALID, but it does raise a rather important
issue: People who edit wikis *should* apply lang attributes to all embedded
foreign text, but quite often they don't, and webfonts may start breaking
things here and there.
