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:
