ah, thanks,
Very true.
A short summary: Our PDF export exports the used glyphs of a font. But
in a form field the user may enter any font, so we need to set a
complete font. A good default guess here is Helvetica since it is
guaranteed to be available in any reader and also provides glyphs for
most locales. The idea last proposed in issue 42985 is to echange
Helvetica for something arbitrary defined by the user, forcing the PDF
reader to use a system font. Downside: if that font is not available, on
the system the reader will end up displaying garbage in the form field.
mm..., and if the PDF filter could export font clever-wise? I mean,
using the same font the user provided for the control, if that exist in
the OOo document, or using some kind of font fall back, for example the
same provided by the display rendering? I think there is some kind of
fall back in the display rendering code of OOo, ain't it?
May be make this behavior selectable instead of enabling the user to
fiddle with fonts.
Just some idle thoughts :-).
