Adobe Acrobat Error No Available System Font when editing text in a PDF file when deleting a character

I was trying to delete an extra period in the end of a paragraph using acrobat X but it said that the font isn't available.


although it was not so intuitive.

What I ended up doing was: highlight that extra period I wanted to delete then changed the color to white.

Found / Tonight lyrics --- Ben Platt in bold and Lin-Manuel Miranda underlined

We may not yet have reached our glory
But I will gladly join the fight
And when our children tell their story
They'll tell the story of tonight
They'll tell the story of tonight
Tonight
Have you ever felt like nobody was there?
Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere?
Have you ever felt like you could disappear?
Like you could fall, and no one would hear?
Well, let that lonely feeling wash away
All we see is light
'Cause maybe there's a reason to believe you'll be okay
For forever
'Cause when you don't feel strong enough to stand
You can reach, reach out your hand
And oh
Raise a glass to freedom
Something they can never take away

Oh
No matter what they tell you
Someone will coming running
To take you home

Raise a glass to all of us
Tomorrow there'll be more of us

Telling the story of tonight
Out of the shadows
The morning is breaking (they'll tell the story of tonight)
And all is new
All is new
All is new
It's only a matter of
Time
Even when the dark comes crashing through
When you need a friend to carry you
When you're broken on the ground
You will be found
So let the sun come streaming in
'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again
If you only look around
You will be found
And when our children tell their story
You will be found
They'll tell the story of tonight
Whoa
No matter what they tell you
Tomorrow there'll be more of us
Telling the story of tonight
The story of tonight
