Hi Vilas

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble.

 

It looks like the required font is not properly embedded into the PDF file or its not present on your system. Please go to Edit > Preferences > page Display > Under Rendering, Select 'use local fonts' > Click OK and reboot  the application and check.

 

For more information about font embedding and substitution please check the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/pdf-fonts.html

 

Also, web browsers use their own PDF mechanisms to render and display the PDF content and they are not Adobe dependant.

Hi Vilas

 

A font can be embedded only if it contains a setting by the font vendor that permits it to be embedded. A font can be embedded only if it contains a setting by the font vendor that permits it to be embedded.

Please check the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/pdf-fonts.html and see if that works.
