Every time I use alternate characters or style set of a font in a PDF created in Illustrator or InDesign, if the text is edited in Acrobat the characters revert back the the default.

An example is using the font Circular. If I set my font to style set 2 (single story "a") in Illustrator or InDesign, and try to edit the PDF in Acrobat, the font defaults to style set 1 (double story "a").

It would be nice if Acrobat either preserved advanced font settings or offered the same settings. What is the point of customizing your fonts in these other programs if something as simple as editing text changes it all.

Additionally, the reason I think this should be available is because the documents I work on are sent to clients who are not designers and do not have the creative suite. And while I wish copy would be final when I send these off, sometimes that just isn't the case and they would like to be able to tweak a word here and there.

Not to mention, it just seems obvious to me that font settings should be preserved.
