Attachments: When setting fonts of text boxes in form design, Asian Text Fonts Style/Size was greyed out.
Only Western Text Font was listed in the Font attribute of the text box. Not actually work though.
Fonts actually shown is still "default" one, not the one I set.

Description Franklin Weng 2024-04-23 06:31:00 UTC 
Description:
In the form design of a Writer document, assigning the font, no matter Western or Asian fonts does not work.  It always shows the "default" fonts.

Also, when assigning fonts of text boxes, the Asian language part can not be set properly.  The Style/Size was greyed out.  The font set in the Asian language was not listed in the text box attributes, only Western Text Font was list.

I'm testing it with 24.2.2.2, but it should be as early as to 6.3.5.2, the earliest version I installed.  Just that exporting to PDF in 6.3.5.2 would make all the Chinese words gone, so the screenshots I will attach are based on 24.2.2.2.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a text box in form design.
2. Assign fonts of the text box.  Both Western and Asian Texts.  It doesn't matter.
3. Export it to PDF.
4. Open PDF and fill in the text.

Actual Results:
The font shown is not what I set in the text box attribute.

Expected Results:
It should honor the font settings I assigned.


Reproducible: Always

Selected font is used if entering text when Design Mode is off, but it is not used in exported PDF.

I also notice that going back into the dialog shows the choice of Asian font has not persisted. (Field blank again.)
