I had the same problem few years ago. I am using the following code snippet
for Greek letters.
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont("c:/windows/fonts/arial.ttf",
BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
bf.setSubset(true);
This will fix the problem with "Δ" and "Ω" and generally Greek letters. I
also embed only the subset of the font.
