Do all of your fonts exhibit the same behavior? Trying to isolate an potential rogue elements...
You might have figured this one out but Arial on Windows is probably not Arial on Linux. So, no matter what you do use... You need to make sure you are using the exact same .ttf font packages to generate your embedded fonts no matter what system/OS you are building on. If you don¹t anticipate changing your fonts... Then the recommendation about compiling once and including as a static asset in your project is a quick resolution to the problem. I can understand your hesitation though.
