In pdf there is no such thing as text, PDF files are just a series of glyphs from fonts that are individually positioned. PDF viewing applications use heuristics to convert these back to text. In newer version of calibre the engine use to render html to pdf (chromium) was updated and its font rendering stack was changed from sfntly to harfbuzz, which changes the positioning of glyphs, thereby likely breaking those heuristics.
