Font changes after document is saved

Question

I use a paid version of Acrobat Reader as part of my Creative Cloud Suite and have been noticing this problem for the last 2 weeks. I have already reinstalled my Acrobat App a couple of times and checked my preferences wrt Page Display, Content Editing (Let Acrobat choose) for fallback and default font, and Language Settings to be English for Application Language and Select Font to be Application Default.

I typically download the PDF from my Component Content Management System (CCMS) and if required make minor edits directly in Acrobat. When I edit a document the first time and save it, the numbers or text get converted into a different font similar to this.

However, when I close the application, reopen it and edit the document again and save it, it saves as expected. Is this a bug or a problem with how fonts are embedded in the system?

There is no paid version of Acrobat Reader.
You are using either Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Standard.

If the editor does not use the same font as the document, it is because that font is not installed on your computer.
Normally, you should see a yellow warning when you edit the text.
