I've had this problem with a few wikipedia articles, most recently: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/*-algebra. The line given by * {{math|size=120%|1=(x y)* = y* x*}} doesn't display properly, the spaces in x y and y* x are replaced by squares with the letters THSP in them. This problem occurs throughout the page. The same problem occurs regradless of the font I choose, but two fonts called "Clean" and "Fixed" do better than the others; they display all spaces properly apart from the space in λ x in the line given by :{{math|size=120%|1=(λ x + μy)* = λ′x* + μ′y*}}. I don't have the same problem in Chromium, which is using the same fonts.

Nevermind, I installed the dejavu fonts which don't seem to have the same problem.
