title: Font Hinting Issue in Acrobat with Embedding in mPDF
body: <p>Running into an issue trying to embed a font in Acrobat via mPDF. </p>
  
  <p>Opening the PDF in Acrobat one Truetype font is distorted (bottom image) no matter the font size at 100% magnification. Unlike Acrobat, in Google's PDF viewer (top image) the same font in the same PDF renders very well.</p>
  
  <p>Printing the PDF the font looks great and zooming in to say, 400%, the font outlines look good too. Other fonts like Calluna display fine in the same PDF. </p>
  
  <p>On the mPDF forum they suggested embedding the entire font and not a subset, but that didn't change anything. </p>
  
  <p>I'm using vector outlines instead of embedding, but I want to see if there is a way to solve this as it's come up before using other fonts.</p>
  
  <p>Wondering if there is any way to account for this within mPDF or via CSS? For Open Source fonts could Font Squirrel fix this?</p>
