Subject: Proof of concept to replace PDF form fields' font

PDF form fields are `/DA` fields (PDF Reference page 534,
https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/pdf_reference_archives/PDFReference.pdf).

Get all `/DA` objects. Their value is a string that specifies the
field's appearance properties. One part of the appearance string is the
font name (its Postscript name). By replacing the font name with a
different one, we can change the field's font.
