html - Rectangles instead of whitespace in Chrome

Question

A website I'm working on is using a custom embedded font that newer versions of Chrome on Windows don't seem to like. Instead of whitespace, weird white rectangles show up. Removing the custom typeface fixes the problem but that's hardly an acceptable solution.

Does anyone know how Chrome interprets whitespace so that I can fix the typeface?

Answer 1

Turns out the typeface didn't define the Unicode whitespace character (0020). All the other browsers substituted the missing character for whitespace, except Chrome. Fixed by editing the font and adding the character.
