I have Georgia as the default serif font for Calibre, and also in Sigil, but it displays correctly in Sigil but not Calibre reader.
It also displays correctly in Calibre editor preview.

Georgia is a pretty complete font, and I tried Times New Roman and that's also boxes.

And I converted the epub to mobi using Kindle previewer. The spaces display in everything, in Georgia.

So I think the font and code is valid, it's just Calibre.
