While others have explained this here, maybe an western analogy might
be best.

If you saw a display with all the 's' characters drawn backwards like
a child might draw them, you wouldn't think it is a professional
system.  This despite the fact that you could easily understand what
was intended.  This is analogous to what happens with the glyphs in
the wrong fonts.

Another anology would be if someone were to write with many
mispellings or use homonyms in place of the write words.  Sure, you'd
know what was supposed to be there, but it would be wrong.
