I would embed fonts this way (java):
FontFactory.registerDirectories();
Font fnormal = FontFactory.getFont("Verdana", BaseFont.CP1252,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED, 10);
Font fbold = FontFactory.getFont("Verdana Bold", BaseFont.CP1252,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED, 10);
Note the font Face name is used, therefore no need to specify Font.Normal,
Font.Bold etc. You can be sure that the correct face is embedded in the
pdf.
