User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:91.0)

Steps to reproduce:

open PDF in Firefox under Linux Ubuntu 18.04 via website

https://web.archive.org/web/20011111104216/http://www.lungusa.org/air/pdf/pm01_rep.pdf

Actual results:

poor fonts are being displayed



Expected results:

should have included "original" fonts by default?

this could be achieved after going to

about:config (in adress bar)
setting "browser.display.use_document_fonts" to "0"  instead of "1"

should be default behaviour, or am i wrong?

The [Bugbug](https://github.com/mozilla/bugbug/) bot thinks this bug
should belong to the 'Firefox::PDF Viewer' component, and is moving the
bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the
bot is wrong.

Thanks for reporting!

I tried to reproduce this issue using Firefox 91.5.1esr and Beta 97 on Ubuntu 
20.04, but unfortunately I didn’t manage to recreate the situation.
Upon changing the setting "browser.display.use_document_fonts" to "0" instead 
of "1" though, using Firefox 91.5.1esr, I refreshed the web pages and the pages 
were blank.

Can you please mention the Firefox version you're using? And can you
also attach a screenshot of the occurring issue?

There's actually bug 1563678, but it seems to be the opposite.

Thank you for the reply!

I will mark this issue as NEW since I managed to reproduce it on Ubuntu 18.04 
using Firefox 91.5.1esr, Firefox 96 and Nightly 98.0a1. 
The issue was not reproducible on Ubuntu 20.04 though.
