I noticed that some letters are displayed funny. It's a simple font error, not much of a bug and I think it can be easily corrected.
For example: http://www.tvmaze.com/people/33016/goran-vinji looks very odd, with "š" and "ć" in a a clearly different font. Just looks kinda unprofessional.
If you're meaning how foreign characters look in the title, then it's not actually a different font, simply most fonts are incapable of showing those characters at that size normally.
There's not really anything that can be done about it unless they choose a different font entirely.

Well, that exactly what I had in mind. Finding a font that looks almost the same, but supports non-English letters is actually quite easy.
I believe this was talked about before, though I can't find the thread right now.
It's actually a browser bug, not a bug in the font. The page you linked looks fine for me in Firefox, but in Chrome I see the effect that you mention. Not sure if we can do anything about it, Jan will weigh in later. :)

That's just how the browsers differ in rendering fonts; based on the CSS:
Firefox: Uses sans-serif (2nd in font list) for the entire header at the normal weight (nothing lower is supported) - in this font, everything will appear bold
Chrome: Uses Open Sans (1st in font list) for latin characters at weight 300 / lighter - which do not appear bold - and sans-serif for glyphs (accents not covered in the latin character set) at normal weight. This inconsistency normally wouldn't be that visible, but because sans-serif is always bold, it's easily noticeable.
