I am trying to change the default appearance (the DA entry) of a FreeText annotation. To begin with, I can't find anywhere in Acrobat to change the font of a FreeText annotation. My understanding is that I need to create a font alias in DS entry of the AcroForm, then reference it using Tf operator in the DA entry.
Below is the smallest PDF code I created:

Acrobat failed to display the FreeText annotation in new font and background. The document shows that the FreeText annotation uses Helvetica font, not Time-Bold.
What is wrong with my code?
