PDF formatting text incorrectly

Hi, When saving my Illustrator file as a PDF, some of the letters appear to be distorted. I have attached an example of the error, notice the double l in 'sell'

It's only on key letters, is there a fix to this?

 

Thanks

That's normal in a PDF and a display issue.

In the Acrobat Preferences - go to Page Display.

Under Rendering try ticking on Smooth Line Art - Smooth images - Enhance Thin Lines 

And see if toggling these settings has any help.
