The encoding has nothing to do with the way the fonts are displayed. All the encoding used in iText allow for text extraction, maybe the problem is in the viewer (if it's not Acrobat). I suppose you are using a recent iText version and not simulating bold and embedding the fonts. The usual advice is to post the problematic PDFs for inspection, that is, if you want some kind of informed answer.
