Maybe a corrupted font cache on your computer? That does weird things. On a Mac if you do a Safe reboot followed by a normal reboot that rebuilds the font cache.

I thought this would be quick and easy, only to discover that the PDF rendered had many missing words in the label fields.

It is also consistent, so same words missing on each execution, and weirdly also only whole words, as far as I can see.
