Sample PDF file -- all 'x' characters should have same height
5.87 KB, application/pdf
Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0

Steps to reproduce:

View PDF file containing transformed font, prepared using ExtendFont in pdfTeX to condense the glyphs

Actual results:

The height as well as the width of characters is reduced

Expected results:

Reduction in width only, as seen when viewing the same file with Evince

Looks fine on MacOS, but I do see the issue on Linux.

FYI, I also see the issue on Linux with Debian's firefox 95.0.1-1 package.
