Declaring ``` font-family: sans-serif;``` causes Google Chrome to not render certain special characters. For example quite common things like mdash and hellip are shown as some sort of square. Setting the font-family to something like "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; solves it.

Not sure if this qualifies as an issue but as a first time h5bp user this had me puzzled for a while.

Tested on Win7 and Chrome 16.0.912.63
