Font not working

I am trying to edit a large document in Adobe Acrobat, but every time I try to edit a word the font changes and it says that the other one is unavailable. I tried downloading the font and I was able to, but I still can't use it in the document. What should I do?

What's the font your talking about? Zapfino? This is a font family with 12 variations (https://www.linotype.com/de/61924/zapfino-extra-schriftfamilie.html) but none of them looks like the font in you PDF. Also, this font has to be licensed and isn't freely available. 

It's likely that the font you need isn't available on you computer, so you won't be able to edit the PDF the way you want.

Thanks for the answer Radzmar. The font that I'm trying to use is the Slimbach, which I already found and enable for use in the section for fonts on the Adobe website. As you can see in the image, the last two fonts that show on the list are Slimbach, they are both in light grey and I cannot use them.

If you get this font from Adobe it's named "ITC Slimbach Std" instead of "Slimbach Std" or "Slimbach LT Medium".
