Thank's for answering so kindly.
1.Yes, I use PdfGraphics2D
OK, so you're creating a FontMapper. Is that correct? (You didn't say in
your original question.)
2.I refer to the java.awt.Font named "Symbol"
If you map this font to the "standard type 1 font" symbol (which is what
you seem to be doing), you won't be able to embed the glyphs.
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.
???
But you're creating a FontMapper, meaning that you are looking to map
java.awt fonts to iText fonts.
YOU DECIDED how the java.awt font "Symbol" is interpreted.
YOU DECIDED to use FontFactory to map the java.awt fonts.
Did you check if FontFactory knows about the Symbol font, and if so, to
which font it maps?
4.It seems You are supposing I am a lazy idiot.
Your assumption is wrong. I was not supposing anything.
I was referring to the documentation. If you need more detail:
p483: There's a default font mapper class called DefaultFontMapper. This
class maps [...] AWT font names to the standard Type 1 fonts.
p352: Note that the BaseFont.EMBEDDED parameter will be ignored for the
standard Type 1 fonts.
p355: A Type 1 font can have a special built-in encoding, as is the case
for Symbol and Zapf Dingbats.
p482: Watch out when using fonts. There's a big difference between the
java.awt.Font and com.itextpdf.text.Font font classes.
On p482, there's a reference to section 14.5.2 that explains how to map
a java.awt Font (e.g. Symbol) to an iText BaseFont.
