Experminenting on the google page that hosts it, in the 'Type here to preview
text' section, Lekton only supports backticks in italics mode....


I think, without digging in farther, the pertinent clue is in the text on the
right hand side of the browser...

"Updated in November 2012: As one of the earlier families published in Google
Web Fonts, Lekton lacked proper subsetting, so this update introduces a
default 'latin' subset that contains less characters but loads faster. To use
the full character set, update your API link to include the latin-ext subset."
