FWIW, many issues like this one are because the PDF does not embed the fonts it uses. Thus the PDF viewer has to do font substitution and there is no guarantee that will work correctly on all computers. If you made the PDF and you want true portability, please embed the fonts.

Chrome does not display the bold text on other platforms either. Does not look like a regression.
