Description

**Describe the bug**

I created a document in Google Sheets, Slides/ Presentations and Documents with text and numbers. When exported as pdf and opened in Chrome, the digits of the document cannot be copied properly - they are copied as random characters (probably not really random but it looks like it to me, maybe its encoding). Strangely, when opening the pdf in Edge the digits get copied properly. I've tested this on Win10 and MacOS Sonoma (Chrome). The digits in Arial or other Google Webfonts (like Open Sans) work fine so I believe it to be related to Gabarito.

**To Reproduce**

Create any document in Google Drive, write any letters and digits, set font to Gabarito, export as pdf, view in Chrome, try to copy digits.

**Expected behavior**

The digits get copied correctly.

I installed to Font locally and typing the numbers in a programm like Photoshop they do get copied correctly as well, so I am not sure if it is really related to the font or Google Drive/ Workspace or even Chrome.
