In certain forms, text need to be filled in a series of square boxes. If there is an option to adjust character spacing, you can in fact fill such fields too using a monsospace font. But I am yet to come across an open source (or even free) tool (for annotating PDFs) which can adjust character spacing too. Can Xournal++ do it? If not, are there any other open source or free tools that can manage it?

If all else fails, convert to SVG in Inkscape and edit it there. Export back to PDF when you're done.

Yes, only that it has to be done page by page and then you have to merge the pages back.
