            Bug ID: 118541
           Summary: Undesired font embedded in pdf form created with Libre
                    Office Writer
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
As I am a French guy, perhaps some of my sentences could be not clear enough.
Sorry for the trouble

I tried to create a pdf form by using LO Writer Version: 6.0.4.2 (x64)
1- save a .odt file
2- export the file as a pdf form, option send fdf
3- open the created pdf form with Adobe Reader DC 2018.011.20038
4- display properties of file, 'font' tab : several fonts are listed.
   a- variants of the Trebuchet font I have chosen
   b- Helvetica
   c- ZapfDingbats
The trouble and possible bug is that 
  1- Neither of these two fonts : Helvetica and ZapfDingbats were used by me in
the original .odt file.
  2- I verified this by exporting the same document to pdf, but without
including any form type (text box or else). The fonts displayed by Adobe Reader
were only variants of Trebuchet
  3- The most strange is that the Helvetica font is not installed on my
computer

I discover this as at some steps of the building of this new form, the pdf
became unreadable : all characters appears as small squares ! Due to the
presence of Helvetica, I presume

So it seems to me that :
- creating text box or else in a .odt file + exporting to pdf form
==> adds unwanted fonts Helvetica and ZapfDingbats
==> can create unreadable pdf forms

Thank you for all the good work done.
Especially the ability to create these very useful pdf forms
[I did this work for an association where I am a volunteer]

case)
2.Export this form to pdf
3.Display included fonts in the pdf

Actual Results:
Helvetica and ZapfDingbats are added

Expected Results:
Only original font used should appear


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Version: 6.0.4.2 (x64)

I don't know whether the same issue occurs or not with older versions of LO
Writer
