Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Xreader 3.2.2 on Linux Mint 20.3: print a PDF to a PDF file with Pages per side set to 2, then inspect the output for truncated lowercase “n” characters. Trace the print-to-file and two-pages-per-side path, and compare the generated output with the expected fully formed text.

Issue

I have a pdf file open. I want to print to a PDF file with two pages per side.
All the lower case 'n' characters in the resultant file are truncated with only the top right portion of the letter being displayed.

See attached screen shot. The text in the screen shot should read "and user interfaces can work"

xreader_v3 2 2_Screenshot_with_truncated_lowercase letter_n from 2022-04-08 14-23-03

Steps to reproduce
Open a PDF file.
Select File | Print
In the print dialog's General Tab select "Print to file" and select PDF as the output format.
Then go to the "Page Setup" tab and in "Pages per side" box enter 2 pages per side
Press Print.
Open the resultant output file and look for regular alphabetic text.
See if the letter 'n' is fully formed.

Expected behaviour
All occurences of the letter 'n' should be displayed like all the other chars.
