Font default setting ineffective for add text comment
A couple weeks ago I set my font in preferences/content editing/font options as 10 point Cambria. Every day the first time I type comments on a PDF the font that starts off is 12 point Helvetica. As far as I can tell Acrobat Standard DC makes no use of the information a user puts into preferences/content editing/font options.I don't care that much about whether I am typing in Helvetica versus Cambria but I correct the Acrobat font from 12 point to 10 point every workday. There are some features of your new Acrobat that I like better than the old but on previous editions of Acrobat setting a default font worked; requiring the user to correct the font every day is a bug in Acrobat DC that needs correction.

I have the very same problem here. In the begining changing the default font worked, but after a reinstallation of the operating system Adobe Acrobat 2020 always defaults to Helvetica, no matter what I pick as comment font. For me the problem is quite severe though, as I normally write comments in non latin letters. Helvetica does not support those characters and Acrobat then seems to switch to the next available font that supports the character. This font however does not support all the characters and as I write the comment it will switch the font again. So my comments are mixed up with three different font types. It looks unprofessional and I need to manually change the font for every single comment. That's quite annoying!
