What's going wrong
Site owners writing in Cyrillic, Hindi, Arabic, Persian, Bangla and right-to-left languages report that post titles come out as unreadable symbols or missing glyphs when the plugin turns them into featured images. Others say the default fonts lack accented Latin letters, and some ask for a font file that supports their script. The problem hits multilingual blogs and non-English publishers hardest, because the rendered image is often the only place the title appears on social shares. A fix would be a font and text-shaping layer that detects the script and picks a suitable font automatically, an opening for a companion service or font pack for multilingual sites.
