"No change, Win 10 is a POS!"

PDF displayed perfectly in browser, so not a browser or OS issue there. Word couldn't detect encoding, so possible Word issue. Libre Office opened but messed formatting, so possible Libre Office issue. Evince on Ubuntu opened perfectly so not an issue with Evince or Ubuntu there. Libre Office on Ubuntu had issues, improved, but not resolved by downloading font, so possible Libre Office or font management issue. Installed font on Windows 10, didn't bother to say which app you tried to open it with, but no change.

And after all that - where it displayed perfectly in a browser on Windows 10 and in Evince on Ubuntu and your conclusion is that Win 10 is a POS? Amazing, given that the common factors for failure appear to lie with trying to edit the document in either Word or Libre Office on both Ubuntu and Win 10.

Plenty of reasons to diss Win 10, but this isn't one of them. Good display of confirmation bias though.
