On macOS at least, the default font used for DPR, Verdana, does not include the Pāli nasal velar (LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH DOT ABOVE, U+1E45).

In Chrome 93.0.4577.63 running on macOS 11.5.2, that means the font rendering engine will fall back from Verdana to another font which does contain the glyph for U+1E45, causing the text to appear inconsistent wherever occurs:

It looks like there's already a copy of Noto Serif Regular in the repo and it's configured via CSS @font-face.

Probably Noto Sans Regular would be a close match for Verdana and DPR should serve and use it by default for Latin glyphs.
