Default Formatting Font Type to a Text Field

Well, unless I hear differently - I am chalking this one up to yet another
"quirk" in the program.

My work around was to split the cell so to provide separate "holding area's"
for each text field box and the dash "-". Weird huh? At least I got the
form done!

I was hoping I could just attach a sample of my problem I'm having here, but
I don't see that option, so will do the best I can to explain what is/or is
NOT happening for me. :c)

I have a protected form, obviously containing text form fields. This
problem does not seem to exist but only in a couple text fields, which also
both reside within the same cell of a table.

I have checked the formatting of the cell as a whole, as well as each
individual text field to be set to my liking. The problem is that this does
not appear to be holding. When I re-protect the form and do a test run these
two fields are inconsistent to the format I chose. Ie. it will pickup
"cabria math" font, instead of "Verdana". ONLY.......if you delete the text
box you will notice it refresh (resize) at which time the font is correct!
Kind of hard to explain. It's almost like there is a hidden layer or
something, but I have recreated a new row to the table as well as deleted
exisiting and re-creating of the text fields and still get the same result.
It even crossed my mind that maybe there was a "quirk" to the fact of having
two fields in the same cell and split the cell again. Still no luck!

I'm totally baffled! And why only in this one area and not somewhere else
on the form? What am I missing??
