will show PDF font from usps.com — but prints gibberish

Reported by court...@poweryourpoint.com, Jun 23 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. after paying for a shipping label - open PDF 
2. it looks good on screen, but printing produces gibberish

What is the expected behavior?
The same PDF can be opened in FireFox and printed without it looking gibberish.

What went wrong?
The font is wrong. I looks like some subset of non-text font.

it stopped working about 5 months ago.

Attached see what a printout looks.

Did this work before? Yes do not know

Chrome version: 66.0.3359.181  Channel: stable
OS Version: 18.04 Ubuntu
Flash Version: do not know

If I open the PDF in Illustrator, and save the file without doing any changes to it -- and try to print it using Chromium it prints out OK. Very strange.
