"e" and "A" crossbars are subtracting

[mraddink]

Whenever a pdf is generated in InDesign, the space where the crossbars of the A and e overlap is removed.

I'm having the same overlap issue in a page created with SeedProd in Wordpress. The rendered page when logged out of WP displays the A and e with the overlap showing up as white. What is causing this? I'm seeing this on Firefox and Chrome on desktop. I don't see this issue on mobile (iOS15.1).
