explains how wikis that use non-Latin scripts can specify their own font stack using MediaWiki:Vector.css.

I dont think users should be responsible for that sort of thing. Could we do per-language css and only do this on en/other known good languages if we know that its going to be a bad choice for some languages?
There are only a couple of languages in which we know this stack will be a "bad choice" (so far, Navajo and Vietnamese). In most languages that use non-Latin scripts, the font-family declaration will have little or no effect, but the readability will be improved by increasing the leading and font-size. Specifically the existing small leading is often a problem for Indic scripts and the existing small font-size is often a problem for logographic scripts.
