Font looks different in latest PDF

Thanks so much! My formatter is the person who's formatting my document to publish it. I'll give her your instructions. I was just puzzled as to why the Oswald font had worked perfectly in the previous ten versions of the manuscript...and suddenly became bold in this one. 

@paula_8304 'my formatter?' — what do you mean by that? Is this a third-party formatter outside of Adobe Acrobat?

Oswald is a Google Font and is also a variable font as seen in the screenshot. We use variable fonts when doing web development and UX designs,  but sometimes other applications such as Word and I guess in this case, as well as Acrobat, struggles to interpret the different weights, causing them to default to the "Bold" or "Medium" weight by mistake.

I don't see any other fonts for Oswald beside this variable font, so I would 'embed the fonts in the file'. I am on a MAC (Word Preferences - Output and Sharing - Save) right this moment, so this will be different for a PC. For a PC, check under File - Options - Save, Enable "Embed Fonts" in Word. Try saving as PDF again.

If by chance that still failed, instead of 'Save to PDF' maybe try 'Print to PDF' or 'Best for Printing'
