The text "Release 313 Graphics..." on the first page is not evenly spaced. It looks obviously wrong in pdf.js, much better in Adobe.

Renders okay locally. Still an issue?

It's acceptable, but it's not the same font as in Adobe though.

It appears that this PDF file doesn't embed all it's fonts.

Still reproducable with every Nvidia driver document with Firefox 43.

Closing since this no longer happens, most likely after recent font fixes. Th letters are now evenly spaced.

Kerning/letter spacing is still completely broken for the mentioned PDF file.

I wonder why this issue is already closed.

This is under Firefox 64 (from ftp.mozilla.org)/Fedora 29/NVIDIA binary drivers

Windows is rendered really badly.

Actually all characters are unevenly spaced - there's no rhythm at all.

Fixed in Firefox 64.0 64bit, Windows 7 64bit, Nvidia driver 391.35

So it is still a Linux issue?

This PDF file looks good now on Arch Linux, i.e., it renders exactly the same in PDF.js for me as it does in Okular. Since the file does not embed its fonts, there is not much more we can do here.
