So you are saying that the marketing department wants the Optima font but is
willing to have a pdf with a lousy raster quality?
There are another options:
- use a true type Optima. iText will subset it.
- create two versions of the document: one with Optima and another with the
built-in fonts with the same metrics as Optima.
