When viewing a document via Preview, when using Markup tools, we can change the font type, color, and size of the text inside of text boxes.
My question is, is there a way to change the font when using the Form Filling tool on a PDF?
Thanks!

Here's the workaround that I found:
Use the Form Filling Feature located at the right of the menu bar and fill out the fields on the form. Select to show the markup toolbar but ignore it for the moment. The Form Filling Feature will pre-select a font, Helvetica 9 pt. in my case. Don't worry.
Now hold down the shift key and one-by-one select each field you've filled in and edit the font and font size using the appropriate item in the markup toolbar. Your fonts will now change in all selected fields to reflect your preferred font and size.

The form designer may configure the form field to use a specific font and attributes which you cannot override in Preview. If Preview were a true PDF editor, then you could change the form controls (and the font).
