webfonts and fc-cache -f didn't help.


I indentified the culprit symbol. Wikipedia 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/<user> inserts it in 
the page.
In UTF8 it is represented as e2 80 8e.
vim shows it like this: <200e>
It is LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK Unicode character: 
http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/~richard/utf-8.cgi?input=e2+80+8e&mode=bytes
It is some instructive symbol that probably should be interpreted by 
browser in some way.

Firefox shows it fine on the same host with the same fonts.
