The OP did say he tried different fonts, to no avail.  It would be
interesting to know which fonts were those.

Please show the entire output of "C-x =" (I presume you invoke it on
the position of sin?).  FWIW, I don't see this here, but in my case
the default Courier New font is used for displaying this text.
