CFF subset fonts have problems, I don't know where. That code was 
contributed and I don't have the time to learn the CFF structure and fix the 
problem, wherever it is.

Subject: [iText-questions] OpenType font subsets not displayed in 
AdobeReader 8


>I created a PDF file using a non-CID CFF OpenType font (namely
> GFSDidot.otf) with font subsetting enabled. The PDF is created without
> errors and it is displayed correctly when using Adobe Reader 7.x. But
> when using Adobe Reader 8.1 text based on the OpenType subset font is
> not displayed anymore, although Adobe Reader does not show an error
> message. Interestingly the characters seem to be there somehow since it
> is possible to mark the blank area where the text should be displayed
> and to copy the text to an editor. But the text is not rendered neither
> on screen nor when printed.

> If subsetting is turned off for the OpenType font and the complete font
> is embedded, then Adobe Reader 8.1 renders the text correctly on screen.
>
> Has someone an idea what's causing this behaviour? What has to be done
> that OpenType font subsets are handled correctly by Adobe Reader 8.1? Is
> information missing in the generated CFF font subset? Or is additional
> information needed in any PDF dictionary?
