It's more a case of Adobe not expecting their to be other producers and so there are numerous things that are undocumented and "specific to Acrobat". It's a major hassle not only for producers, but also consumers.

I have
Helvetica in an appearance with the name /F1. When I change the content of
that field the appearance content still has /F1 but in the resources the /F1
was replaced with /Helv.

Right. For the Base14, you should use the predefined names and that can also keep file size down. Also, don't forget to do a FULL embed of those fonts and NOT a subset.

The result is that if I'm inside the field I see
the letters, if I leave the field the letters disappear.

That means that the appearance isn't properly updated, since when focus in the field, Acrobat does the drawing manually based on teh value - but when focus is elsewhere, it just draws the appearance.
