Complete PDF. Text is rendered in other PDF viewers.

Actual result

No text.

Environment

The same issue with v0.6.5 on Mac (no custom CSS). Example pdf: geometry-of-linear-equations.pdf

Once, we update to a newer version of electron, we should get another PDF viewer. Hopefully, it will solve this issue.

Same Issue, in my case, the PDF file loaded after extremely long period of time.
