Issue Viewing a PDF, selecting text with mouse or ctrl -a renders the selected text as incorrect glyphs (looks like junk, not legible) screenshot from 2017-09-16 10-28-43

Steps to reproduce Select text in a pdf document using Helvetica but not embedded.

Expected behaviour Text should be the same font glyphs with reverse color and maybe bolded?

Other information Document properties says fonts in PDF are Helvetica and Helevetica-Bold, not embedded, these do not appear to be installed on the system. Seems like a legible substitute is being found for non selected text, but not when selected?
