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.

Title:
  Firefox PDF font rendering is often messed up

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  New
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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).
