PDF Export does not use correct font in fillable text field

English
#1

I have for in Libreoffice writer with fillable text fields. I have changed the font to a scribe style font but when I export the file to a PDF and go to fill in the form it doesn’t use the scribe style font. Other features like size and color work but the the actual font.
I am using Windows 11 and LiberOffice 7.2.6.1

  • Can you upload an ODF and a PDF file type sample file here?
  • What PDF reader (editor) are you using?

I am uploading a .docx and .odf. The field for member’s signature is where I want it to be a script type font. I have tried Adobe Acrobat Reader, Chrome and Edge

I am still having this issues. I want the signature block to use a scrip type font but the fillable form will not use the font I pick. I have tried everything I can think of with no success.

I tried embedding fonts but I only succeeded in crashing Adobe Reader.
I suspect that the only fonts you can specify are one of the 14 standard pdf fonts:

Times-Roman
Times-Bold
Time-Italic
Time-BoldItalic
Courier
Courier
Courier-Bold
Courier-Oblique
Helvetica®
Helvetica®-Bold
Helvetica®-Oblique
Helvetica®-BoldOblique
Symbol
ZapfDingbats

You can do it in Adobe Acrobat though and it works in Microsoft Edge but it still crashes my Adobe Reader.
