I would like to use \medstar from the MnSymbol package, but it seems that MnSymbol conflicts with other packages I am using including amsmath.

I've tried to use \FiveStarOpen from bbding as suggested here: Latex command for unfilled \bigstar

But for some reason \FiveStarOpen does not display an unfilled star, but the figure '9' instead.

Here is the list of packages that I am using: cite, graphicx, epstopdf, tikz, amsmath, amsfonts, amsthm, cancel, array, mdwmath, mdwtab, fixltx2e, url, color, enumerate, comment.

I am a beginner at Latex, so any help will be greatly appreciated!
