EB Garamond font distortion in PDF format

Hello everyone,
I'm working on a MS Word document using the EB Garamond font (first image), which I installed from Google Fonts since it wasn't preinstalled in Word. However, when I convert the document to PDF, I notice that the letters lose quality and become distorted, which doesn’t happen with other fonts like Times New Roman, Georgia, or the Garamond font that comes preinstalled in Word (second image). Those fonts don’t lose quality or become distorted the way my EB Garamond does. What’s going on, and what can I do to fix it?
(I've tried changing the PDF embedding settings, but it doesn't seem to be working—unless I'm doing something wrong).
Thanks!
