The digits are especially confusing - the 4's render like European 1's.

What's the difference between European and non-European 1's?

Americans either write a single vertical stroke or an upward hook with a horizontal base line. Europeans (well, Germans and Hungarians to my own knowledge) write just the upward hook - to distinguish this from a 7, they cross the seven.

This font rendered fours (Chrome on Win 7) without the horizontal bar, leaving something that looked like a 1, to me.
