A lang attribute tells the language in which a webpage's content is written and affects a lot of language-specific things, including how user agents will choose fonts for fallback.

Ideally, a web browser should choose the appropriate fonts based on the language in which the web page content is written, and this can be guided by adding a proper lang attribute to the corresponding element of the page.

In the case of Ninja's homepage, adding a lang="en" attribute to the <html> element in index.html will be enough.

IMHO the default should be English and lang="en" should never exist at all. I haven't checked but I would guess that the browser assumes English by default already (would be stupid if it doesn't).

Do you have a concrete example where this fixes something?
