Ok. I will test this to see what is happening. (I do not have an 
uptodate context on this machine).

I am out of depths here. I do not really understand how math fonts are 
handled. The wiki example was modified from a suggestion from Taco. For 
rsfs, you can go to the plain tex way of doing things also.
