Maybe the ttf and the type1 versions of the font have different encodings?

Re "set the pdfbox fallback" no; what I did to test ideas, was to mess with the substitutes map in ExternalFonts.java

I want it to use embedded fonts, but it appears to be looking for installed
fonts for the check mark on an iText editable check box field, so I tried
installing ZapfDingbats.ttf.

Now it just gets this log
org.apache.pdfbox.rendering.font.Type1Glyph2D getPathForCharacterCode
WARNING: No glyph for 52 (.notdef) in font ZapfDingbats

Now it doesn't log "Using fallback font" so I don't know what it's doing.
I can only guess iText is also using a fallback font which is apparently
not available to pdfbox?
Is there a way I can set the pdfbox fallback font for the
renderPageToGraphics?

It doesn't work with the ttf font for some reason. I can only tell that it
works for me with the type1 file.

  I don't know where the fallback font comes from but it doesn't work.  If I
view the PDF in Abode Reader it has an editable checkbox with a check mark
in it.  The image rendered by pdfbox is just an empty box.
I am using pdfbox 2.0.0 from a trunk.
I can upload a small sample PDF that shows this error if it helps.
I have a ZapfDingbats.ttf file but I can't see any way to embed that for
the editable checkbox.  I'm creating the PDF using iText.
If I view the PDF in Adobe Reader and check Properties, on the Fonts tab
it
shows
ZapfDingbats
    Type: Type 1
    Encoding: Built-in
    Actual Font: AdobePiStd
    Actual Font Type: Type 1
My normal fonts for text that properly embedded which render fine with
this
trunk show as
LucidaSans-Typewriter (Embedded Subset)
    Type: TrueType
    Encoding: Custom

Is there a fix for these?

  Yes, buy a ZapfDingbats type 1 font and copy it into your font
directory.
Or maybe you already have it, then the file is named "ZD______.PFB".

PS: alwyays mention the version (in your case "trunk" or "2.0")
