Ok, this would allow me to choose the font for my users. What I wanted to do
is to let thme choose the font while filling the PDF form...
But I think this is a functionality beyond the one you mentioned.
Thanks !

I just want to make the font size modifiable in my OOo generated PDF
forms, but just don't know how to do this (when being filled with
Acrobat Reader for example).
You should be able to do this, but it doesn't work due to a bug that
has been in OOo for years and remains unfixed.
Open a new, blank Writer document. From View Toolbars select Form
Design and Form Controls. Using the Controls toolbar place some
controls on the document that would contain text, e.g., a list box, a
text box, etc. Right click on the control and select Control. This will
bring up a dialog box where you can specify the properties for the
control, including the font.
When finished, export your form to a PDF, making sure that you check
the box create PDF form. (The box is unchecked by default.)
Now open your form in Adobe Reader. You will discover that your
controls work, but the font will be Helvetica or some sans-serif face,
rather than the font you specified in the control properties.
This bug was reported and confirmed years ago, but no one has
ever done anything about it.
