Some czech characters mess up text display

Reported by jan.hec...@gmail.com, May 8 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.96 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
https://www.garmin.cz/files/documents/pr%C3%A9miov%C3%BD%20sn%C3%ADma%C4%8D%20tepov%C3%A9%20frekvence.pdf

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to https://www.garmin.cz/files/documents/pr%C3%A9miov%C3%BD%20sn%C3%ADma%C4%8D%20tepov%C3%A9%20frekvence.pdf
or open "prémiový snímač tepové frekvence.pdf" (attached).

What is the expected behavior?
Display text correctly (see pdf_evince.png)

What went wrong?
Some characters overlap (see the attached pdf_chrome.png), which does not happen in another pdf viewer (Evince, see pdf_evince.png).
It seems that only some of the czech characters display the unwanted behavior.

Does it occur on multiple sites: N/A

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Correcting label, but I'm not sure if this is a regression.

Actually I was unable to reproduce on my Stable 57.0.2987.133, Beta 58.0.3029.41 or Dev 59.0.3053.3. But I'm not on 58 stable yet for some reason, so maybe someone who's on that can try repro.

Tested the issue on ubuntu 14.04 using chrome M58 #58.0.3029.96 and issue is not reproduced with the following steps :

1. Launched chrome and opened given url "https://www.garmin.cz/files/documents/pr%C3%A9miov%C3%BD%20sn%C3%ADma%C4%8D%20tepov%C3%A9%20frekvence.pdf" and observed no issue in pdf text.

Attached screencast for reference.

@jan.heczko-- Could you please check attached screencast and confirm us if we had missed any steps in reproducing the issue and confirm us the OS details.

The procedure shown in the screencast is correct and displays expected pdf rendering.

The Chrome version details differ slightly, screenshot attached.
Details of the instalation package for my distro can be found here: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/chromium/

Ok, finally able to test on 58 Stable, and still not able to reproduce. Can you confirm if this is still a problem on 58.0.3029.110? If it is, could you try updating your system freetype, and see if that fixes the issue?
The hint with freetype worked, together with this info: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_build_instructions.md#Arch-Linux

The document is displayed correctly after installing ttf-ms-fonts (with no need to rebuild Chrome).

Thanks, everyone!
