title: Add PDF font to JasperReport export
body: <p>I am using iReport to create a series of reports. In iReport my default font is set to "SansSerif"; on my machine (Ubuntu Linux) this is actually DejaVu Sans. Ultimately the reports need to be rendered as PDF files. When a PDF is generated the text font is actually Helvetica and is causing formatting issues. Ideally the font in iReport would be the same as the PDF font. That is where my issue resides.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried changing the <code>net.sf.jasperreports.default.pdf.font.name</code> setting to 'DejaVu Sans' but that throws an error about the font not being found. From what I understand it is actually iText creating the PDF. Is that correct? In the iText jar Helvetica is embedded in the jar. Does the same thing need to be done to the other fonts? How does one go about that?</p>
  
  <p>I have researched this and tried all kinds of things. Any ideas would be appreciated.</p>
