The issue is caused by Discourse’s default CSS font feature settings that interfere with complex script rendering:

css

```css
//Problematic default settings
font-variant-ligatures: none;
font-feature-settings: "calt" 0;

//solution is to override
 font-variant-ligatures: normal;
 font-feature-settings: normal;

```

This solved the issue with both fonts.
