It sounds like a font issue. This font is known to cause this type of
problems. It can be repaired in Acrobat by adding Actual Text to the <H1>
Tag. However, you might then get an accessibility error indicating that
there is alternative text that will not be read by adaptive technology.
Sometimes you'll get this message and sometimes you won't. It is because
you've added the attribute to something other than a <Figure> Tag.

The type of font you used is not a "standard" font and is sort of a hybrid
for lack of better phrasing.
