Use any font and font size in Adobe Acrobat text boxes

I found a useful workaround for a problem I have had with the Adobe Acrobat Text Box tool. Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional doesn't allow you to choose the font used in the yellow text boxes that one typically uses to add notes or comments to a PDF. Even worse, it only allows you to select a font size of small, medium, or large. For me, even the small font is way too large to be useful.

The workaround:

[robg adds: You can actually use TextEdit for this trick as well. To set the zoom level above 100%, you need to set Format » Wrap to Page (or just press Shift-Command-W; you'll then get a zoom pop-up in the lower right corner of the TextEdit window.]
