When I try to read a PDF with Times New Roman, I get some weird problems.

First of all, the font is very light and thin, does not look like Times New Roman at all. Very difficult to read. Sure, that might just be poor font design, but...

Second, some words appear in a larger, bold font. I can't figure out why - those words are the same font size and same boldness in the original document.

If I change font size, everything just scales. The larger-font, bold, words, are still large, bold.

I noticed that the same happens if I try to view the file with SONY's software on my PC. But if I open the same file with Adobe, those problems disappear.

Any advice? So far, I have resorted to simply changing font, but I get a lot of documents from other people, and it gets annoying.
