I filed an Ubuntu bug but they said the firefox snap is from upstream and sent me here. I opened http://www.wormbook.org/chapters/www_intromethodscellbiology/intromethodscellbiology.pdf and the fonts are wrong and spacing is ugly. Over on reddit people suggested disabling use document fonts (browser.display.use_document_fonts=0) and that fixed it; but for html pages it uses the wrong fonts then. Also on reddit, someone said reproducible in a Ubuntu VM; someone else said, not reproducible on Linux Mint, which is based on Ubuntu but doesn't use snaps. Actual results: Ugly fonts. Results in first image here https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/uhz6d1/continued_messedup_font_rendering_in_firefox_pdf/ Expected results: Beautiful fonts.

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).
