Because the PDF generation process is different, and handles the font  
embedding (assuming it's being embedded) in a way that doesn't trigger  
the display problem.

Fairly easily, by re-scaling the em-square to use the traditional 1000- 
unit size that was recommended for PostScript Type 1 fonts. However,  
if there is other data expressed in em-units (such as kerning), care  
may be needed to re-scale this in the same way.

Alternatively, simply use the TrueType version of the fonts.
