Thanks, Ulrich, for the detailed drawback description and for te patch, I'll go check the affected class source to see the reason.
As for us, we switched to OTF because there is some problems embedding TTF fonts into some PDF files, formed by a third parties with some type 1 fonts already embedded. (our application imprints and watermars these files) In this case, iText simply siletly does not embed TTF. However, OpenType fonts works well.
