At top of yelp, the File/Edit/Go toolbar is not English but gibberish

Binary package hint: yelp

When I look at the toolbar on top of yelp, for pretty much any yelp page, instead of getting a File/Edit/Go/Bookmarks Toolbar in English, I get a lot of gibberish which looks like Unicode or something. My install is fairly vanilla but I asked someone else with Meerkat and they see the same thing.

Yelp seems to be using the "Shavian" version of English (en@shaw) as opposed to more common forms of English. I switched my desktop to use Spanish and everything cleared up, back to English and I get this "Shavian English" unicode.
