PDF form fields using unknown fonts are ignored
If a PDF form field value uses a font that is not in the resources dictionary, a warning is logged and the field value is ignored/not displayed.
It's unclear whether this behavior is strictly valid based on the PDF spec (since typically font references, even to base fonts, require a corresponding font dictionary) but Acrobat seems to display the content anyway.
I'm attaching an example PDF I made from some public form.
I'm also attaching a patch with a suggested fix using the createAnnotDrawFont
functionality already present in Annot.cc
for making standard fonts. I am not very experienced with this codebase so I'm sure I may be making some mistakes! Happy to follow up/fix them in a merge request, although I'm not sure I have permission to open one right now.
