Wikipedia render Thai fonts correctly. But it seems to render Latin texts and numbers in "TH Charm of AU" font for Thai articles, which I did not set anywhere in the browser (and my operating system). Ticking "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" does not fix it either. But it renders fonts correctly in English version of the same article. (See the attached images).

Any ways to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Actually, changing fonts to something other than fonts in Noto family solved the problem. But it's still strange that the site somehow picked a random font for Latin text.

For me it's Tahoma italic in Thai and Arial italic in English, so nothing that spectacular.
