Actually Acrobat 6 seems to have the same problem as 5. They both do a fine job once you throw the "Smooth Line Art" switch.
I believe it's on by default in 6, however...
I think I've heard somewhere that Acrobat assumes that Type 3 fonts are bitmap fonts, with only image operators.
No, it process them as a stream of operators - regardless of the contents.
I think iText doesn't actually generate TrueType font subsets,
It most certainly DOES generate TTF subsets. It reads the font data from the JVM or the user's computer (or even memory if you want) and then does the right thing.
For ANY font type (TTF, Type 1, etc.) you HAVE to have the data present - how else can you embed the glyph data w/o it being somewhere to reference?!?!?which means that you have to have access to the original TrueType file, which you often don't have in Java (unless you force users to provide it).
