Inconsistent text bolding on Chrome

[SAronson]

Hi everyone, 

I'm stuck on a PDF report that must work well when emailed/downloaded through Google. Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug in how certain text is displayed (first photo is one example). When downloaded from Google Drive/Gmail and opened in the Chrome web browser, this odd bolding appears around some text. It does not happen when opened in Preview, Acrobat, Slack, etc. This needs to be a publicly available doc, with links included.

I've tried downloading an interactive PDF, print PDF, checking the text, and everything else I can think of. If helpful, the text is Roboto, size 9.5. There is no image behind the text. There is a color text box behind the text, but I tried removing it, and it still happened (second photo). I'm losing my mind and would appreciate any advice!! 

Thank you!

There was a similar thread recently - please try zoom in / out a few times.

I have, it does not work unfortunately.

I did review that thread and attempted what was suggested, but sadly none of the advice worked for my document.

@SAronson

Can you try with a different font?

Can you share your PDF - or part of it - or if it's confidential - can you create and share some mockup?
