User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:99.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/99.0

Steps to reproduce:

My setup is Firefox 99.0.1 snap on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy. 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

Expected results:

Beautiful fonts. Second image here
