iText supports AFM/PFB fonts. Remember you customer that if Adobe issued those patches was because the Acrobat version was buggy. Tailoring the PDF to the bugs of the viewer is a bad precedent and it's not guaranteed to work with all the versions. I also know that technical reality has little to do with deployment politics...
