Right, the following has sorted it out:
BaseFont bf =
BaseFont.createFont("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf",
BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, true);
form.addSubstitutionFont(bf);
Thank you very much.
Does that mean, all fields in the pdf will get the same font
(DejaVuSansCondensed in this case) regardless of what was specified in
the template document?
