Your PDF reader probably doesn't support the particular font this is using. Try it on your computer.

This is what I am getting on the browser.


You maybe don't allow pages to choose their own font? From what I understand it works by making a font that maps Latin characters to random Unicode points. So, unless for a specific text its respective font is used, text will appear gibberish.

edit: Saw you said you use an old phone. Found those fonts are in woff format. Older Android phones don't have support for it.


Mm, might have to use a different browser/phone? Not sure what else there is to do here... it's a proof of concept that doesn't work on all devices.


it probably depends on browser font support. PDF works with embedded fonts and so it is less likely to be an issue when viewing the PDFs there.


Ironically, that undermines the entire point of PDF
