Hello,
MS-Word uses "Font Fallback" mechanism to show "missing glyphs" of your 
selected font. more info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb688134
iText/Sharp has the same capability which is defined in FontSelector class. 
Here you can define your "Font Substitution" strategy and then call 
fontSelector.Process method.

Subject: [iText-questions] Font subsets document
 
Morning all,

I have a pdf created from a Word document (template). From the pdf I  
get all the document base fonts used, I choose a basefont and create a  
font from this to include some extra text.
When I add the text with contentByte from the stamper and setText with  
hard coded text like "Uw" the text is shown with square before the w  
(like the glyph can't be drawn).

If I use BaseFont.createFont() the text is shown normally but I want  
the style/ font family properties of the font used originally.

Regards,

Peter van Raamsdonk
