LaTex Symbols not displayed correctly in PDF

Question

Hello,

In the attached program is a word document and a pdf output from the program. As you can see in the two files, some of the symbols are not handled properly when the file is converted to PDF. Specifically, in the section called "Strength Reduction Factors" the phi symbol is displayed as a bold E in the PDF. Also, in the "Section Classification" section, there is a large space between the text and the lambda symbol. Can this be resolved?

Thanks

Phi symbol in
  Math equation is not preserved properly.

As promised
  earlier, we have included the fix for the reported bug with “Phi
  symbol in Math equation is not preserved properly while converting a Word
  document to PDF” in our latest
  weekly NuGet release (v25.1.37).
  
  Root cause of the issue:
  In the provided document,
  Mathematical Italic Phi Symbol (𝜑) is inserted in
  the Math equation. During the Word to PDF conversion process, the Phi Symbol
  (𝜑) character is
  internally modified to the specific style with the character(𝜑)  based on
  the character value. However, during this process, the incorrect
  character “E” is being generated. This issue is causing
  problems in the Word to PDF conversion.

Unwanted
  spaces preserved in Math equation while converting a Word document to PDF.

As promised
  earlier, we have included the fix for the reported bug with “Unwanted
  spaces preserved in Math equation while converting a Word document to PDF” in our latest weekly NuGet
  release (v25.1.37).
  
  Root cause of the issue:
  During the Word to PDF
  conversion process, we internally added additional spaces when two spaces are
  followed by a comma ',' to achieve Microsoft Word's behavior. In the Word
  document, only one space character is intended to be placed after the comma.
  However, we improperly added extra spaces after the comma character. This
  issue is causing spacing problems in the Word to PDF conversion.
