Writer export to PDF - form font issues

[Robby2024]

font in text box field not exported to PDF

I am trying to create a PDF form that uses the font of my choice for a text box entry field. (The idea is that for just one text box, I want to use a font that looks like handwriting, for an electronic signature, while the rest of the text boxes use a typical highly legible font. Mind, that is an electronic signature, not a digital signature.) The user’s input into the PDF form should appear in the font I chose. Seems to work correctly inside Writer, but when I export to PDF, the font is som…
