Title:
Firefox PDF font rendering is often messed up
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I don't know whether it is an ubuntu bug or a firefox bug but since I
am running the mozilla-supported ubuntu snap of firefox 99.0.1 (on
22.04 jammy) (firefox 100 not yet available on snap), posting it here.
Many pdfs have messed-up fonts on this firefox. Following a reddit
thread, I tried disabling browser.display.use_document_fonts in
about:config. Then the pdfs render correctly, but html webpages have
messed-up fonts.
Reddit post with screenshots and sample URL here; previous reddit thread
linked therein.

Others (on this and previous thread) report it doesn't happen on other
platforms. On this thread, someone confirms it on a Ubuntu VM, and
someone else says it doesn't happen on Mint (based on Ubuntu but I
think doesn't use snaps).
