I do have gsfonts installed, version 1:8.11+urwcyr1.0.7~pre44-4.5 . As noted, the font rendering is fine if I disable "browser.display.use_document_fonts".

[Bug 1971608] [NEW] Firefox PDF font rendering is often messed up
Public bug reported: 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. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/uhz6d1/continued_messedup_font_rendering_in_firefox_pdf/ 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). ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1971608 Title: Firefox PDF font rendering is often messed up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1971608/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
