Thank's for answering so kindly.
1. Yes, I use PdfGraphics2D
2. I refer to the java.awt.Font named "Symbol"
3. Although You suppose I didn't I read any documentation I did
several times. I even bought it. And I know about Type1-Fonts and I know
that they aren't embedded by iText. But I don't know that the awt.Font
"Symbol" is interpreted as a type1 font by iText.
4. It seems You are supposing I am a lazy idiot. Thank You very much
for doing so.

Hallo,

java.awt? Are you using PdfGraphics2D?
If not, please don't mention java.awt!
using the following code
FontFactory.registerDirectories();
com.itextpdf.text.Font fTtf = FontFactory.getFont(f.getFontName());
What is the value of f.getFontName()?
Is that name present when you list the names registered in the FontFactory?
If so: what type of font is it?
I assume that you're referring to the "standard Type 1 font" named Symbol.
try {
fTtf = FontFactory.getFont(f.getFontName(),BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
} catch (Exception e) {}
while f is the java.awt.Font "Symbol".
Again: is it relevant that you're using java.awt.Font?
It's confusing: it may set us in the wrong track, trying to diagnose your
problem.
In any case: the font you're referring to is the "standard Type 1 font"
named Symbol,
then using IDENTITY_H as encoding is wrong!!!
This throws an exception. Catching and replacing it with
fTtf = FontFactory.getFont(f.getFontName(),fTtf.getBaseFont().getEncoding(),
BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
works but the Font isn't embedded and results in greek letters.
Did you read any documentation at all?
The fourteen "standard Type 1 fonts" (as defined in ISO-32000-1) are NEVER
embedded by iText,
UNLESS you provide a pfb containing the glyph description of that font.
I already searched the mail archive and found
<http://www.mail-archive.com/itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net/msg10568.
html> [iText-questions] Cannot get glyphs rendering from the Symbol Font
into the PDF file with the advice "Use the encoding "Symbol" for the Symbol
font.". But it doesn't work also.
Standard Type 1 fonts are NEVER embedded.
Symbol has a CUSTOM encoding.
You shouldn't use IDENTITY_H for a standard Type 1 font.
iText shows the documented behavior, but you claim it's wrong.
Please read the documentation ( http://itextpdf.com/book/ ) before saying
"it doesn't work".
