New DL.com bug: can no longer pdf boarding passes

I am flying Delta tomorrow and cannot pdf my boarding pass.
Delta appears to be using a new font on boarding passes, and according to my pdf software, boarding passes cannot be pdf-ed because the font's vendor does not permit the font to be used in pdfs.

My first reaction was that my computer was acting up, but it seems to make sense:
- Delta is definitely using a new font. My old boarding passes use Courier or something similiar
- Delta has made other changes recently (e.g. showing the Y/F instead of the actual fare bucket), so this may have been made at the same time
- I can still pdf other documents

Is anyone else having the same problem?
For the pdf gurus, below is the text that is being produced every time I try to pdf a boarding pass
