Thanks for your reply. Your explainations are very useful for me, but I still have some different opions.
About embedment of Unicode TrueType Font, I do really mean not to embed only some Japanese(or Chinese/Korean) font which are quite large even for a subset and obviously installed on our target user's machine. In fact, there is a popular commercial report software in Japan (WingArc SVF, not based on iText) which can produce pdf files without embedment of Japanese font. Those pdf files are not intended to be distributed widely but inside a local company as a report solution. I think it is better that iText does not force embedment of Unicode TrueType Font but give a chance to change. About output text with an alternate font, your suggestion on FontSelector is very helpful, but it seems only supporting high level objects. In my case, PdfContentByte is used to obtain high performance in a template-based report tool. Is there a similar mechanic for PdfContentByte?
