I'm trying to use a different font other than the default 14 in a TextField=
 but keep getting this error

ValueError: form font name, 'Calibri', is not one of the standard 14 fonts

I register the font

pdfmetrics.registerFont(TTFont('Calibri', 'Calibri.tff'))
but when i choose the font in the TextField I get the error


Any idea where I am going wrong please?
