Just to be sure, are you talking about "inline notes" (second from top in the
F6 tools menu)?

I can't reproduce it, have tried in Okular 1.1.3 and in latest from git master.
Is it possible for you to try the latest okular (+poppler) versions?

Anyway, the behavior can depend on a number of things. Is your document a pdf,
or another format? Do you have a hidpi screen? fontconfig setup and installed
system fonts will also matter. That's distro specific. I've got no OpenSUSE
around atm, so can't test, sorry.

If pdf, what's your poppler version? What does
$ fc-match -s "Helvetica:size=72" --format="%{family} %{size}\n" | head
give on your system?

I ask because poppler will try to get a substitute for Helvetica, regardless
which font you select in Okular. That's due to
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81748. Font matching inside
poppler is actually more complex, but maybe that command already gives a hint.

After all, it should already work. We can try to narrow down, but it might be a
issue that needs to be reported to the openSUSE guys.
