Correct answer Frans v.d. Geest

Open Button and Forms panel ( Window > Interactive > Button and Forms ), highlight the Text Field and make sure the correct font is selected.

That will only work if the font is also present on the other computer, as you should know Srishti, the problem is that if one uses a font of its own machine and sets that as the font for a form field, the font still is NOT embedded and will not be used.
A long known 'problem'.

 

Or use Acrobat Pro to tru and fix the form field there.

If the font is embedded, bacause hou use it on the page elsewhere as well, you can try and fix the form field in Acrobat Pro.

So it will not work Dev1Staging5C16 with your own fonts in InDesign, never has, sorry.

Be sure your default text style selected is not set to another font. Could be either the Paragraph Style or a Character Style.

 

Check with the text tool selected, but no active insertion cursor. Also check the default font listed incase it's an override.
