Summary:
Certain PDFs with monospaced fonts, mostly online banking transactions, are rendered incorrectly in Preview / QuickLook. The character spacing is broken.

Steps to Reproduce:
Please open the attached PDF in Preview.app (tested on macOS High Sierra) and (for reference) in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Expected Results:
The rendering should be roughly the same.

Actual Results:
The character spacing of the Preview.app rendering is broken while Acrobat Reader renders the document fine.

Version:
10.0 (944.5)

Notes:
I've also attached screenshots of the rendering in both apps.
