Well, whatever the problem is it is definitely related only to my system. I tried your code and had the same results (https://adexfulfillment.com/adex/tests/test.php). I tried different fonts as well. The fonts I'm using were exported from FontBook on my Mac. I wonder if that might have something to do with it. Anyway you could pass along the arial font you're using so I can test that possibility?
Thanks!
