Apparently, rsvg refuses to render some greek letters, namely the captial delta and capital mu (for the later see http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Greek_letter_mu.svg). Trying with rsvg (2.16.0) on my box, it works fine. Changing the font from "Times" to "serif" didn't help. Is there something odd about the fonts installed on the WMF boxes?
Just a small correction to the summary: it's the small mu that is not rendered.
It's not just that; any character that is stressed (greek language uses stresses) fails to appear after the rasterization. You can see any letter when viewing the svg in full resolution, but mu, upsilon and the stressed characters fail to appear when the picture is in preview or thumb. The only solution to this is converting text into paths, which increases the file size and is time-consuming too.
Test case is fixed after installing more fonts.
