When I post a pdf online (which I do frequently) the fonts don't show correctly when it is opened in Mozilla. I've never had this issue in the past. Why now, and how do I fix? I have the same issue in Chrome...but it displays correctly in Explorer. Please help!

Hello, I wanted to follow up on this issue after reviewing some of the changes with the current update. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1049521 This bug addressed some Windows HKEYs that are changed when Firefox is updated/or installed.

As an update, a patch has been made and changes are on the way for fresh installs of Firefox :-)
