Update: this problem does not occur with firefox-trunk (version 101.0a1), which is installed via apt. I strongly suspect it is a problem with the snap packaging of firefox.

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).
