Since installing Debian, I've had some issues printing PDF's, in that the resulting printout doesn't look exactly like the PDF. This could be due to the fonts installed with Debian, where they are possibly not the same or ideal fonts for PDF's.
Any hints in kpdf File/Properties/Fonts?
fonts-liberation contains free versions of the most common MSFT fonts.
ttf-mscorefonts-installer can install more comprehensive unfree versions.
I have these and about a dozen other font packages installed and its years since I had a missing font problem.

For the PDF in question, that displays numerous entries, showing Helvetica, Helvetica Bold, Helvetica BoldOblique, Helvetica Oblique and two entries displaying: [none]
The Helvetica entries show Type 1, no embedding. The two [none] entries show Type 3, embedded. fonts-liberation and fonts-liberation2 are already installed.
What is occurring, was that the layout of the PDF viewed with any of the aforementioned packages (except Vivaldi), wasn't 100% perfect. For example, spacing between the letters was uneven.
