    Rich text field will not show proper font attributes! (Bug? - RTF OTF font handling)

      I created two text form fields (rich text)...

      In Windows 7, Write program (using it to format the rich text content)... I edited my two lines.

      Line one: mix of two font sizes and a few attribute changes... pasted into the first text field perfectly.

      Line two: similar to the above... pasted into the second text field but the font is appearing in bold! It is not bold in the source, nor is it preset in the text field properties! I even pasted it back into Write AND Word and it pastes as I intended it.

       

      Why is Adobe doing this? I even tried to toggle >Text Style > bold on/off, clear formatting... these functions do not work!

       

      If I bring up the properties toolbar (Ctrl-E), bold is toggled on but I cannot toggle it off, I can add underline, I can change the font size.

       

      UPDATE: It seems that Adobe Acrobat is NOT reading the OTF font correctly! If I change to a different font, in the same family, the problem changes from set on bold to set on italics!

       

      It is specifically related to the font I am using but is ONLY a problem when using Rich Text fields. In other words, the entire font family works perfectly if I inserted a text box or use the font family in any other Adobe product.

       

      I have submitted a bug report: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en
