yeah, the idea is to use real widgets, but to get the rendering or the
style from poppler so the widgets
can render the text exactly as poppler would do.  In Gtk3, one way of
doing this is to get the constructed AP stream and then use that to
construct a CSS style that would be apply to the GtkEntry
corresponding to that form field, the other way of doing it is to try
to hook up the rendering into poppler, but let the widget use its
machinery for everything else (not sure if that's really possible in
gtk, but nevertheless)

Yeah, the main point is that when you are editing the form, you don't
notice there is this widget there...
specially annoying is the fact that the text style changes when you
hide the form.
