Hello,
I think you are mixing two different things.

iTextAsion.jar is for fonts that aren't embedded.
Even if you set embedded=true, they won't be in the PDF.
This is explained in section 8.3.2 of the iText book.
You can find the list of fonts in the iTextAsian.jar
in Table 8.5 (page 250).

IDENTITY_H is not supported for the fonts in
iTextAsian.jar, use the CMap names listed in
Table 8.5.

Using HA_mingliu.ttf doesn't require iTextAsian.jar.
It needs the ttf file HA_mingliu.ttf in the appropriate
path. My guess is that this is an OpenType font with
TrueType outlines. Your example is similar to the one
in section 8.3.3 of the book. A subset of the font will
be embedded.

Here you are using a CJK font correctly.
As documented in the iText book AND the PDF Reference:
these fonts will never be embedded. This is not a bug;
this is how it was designed by Adobe.
Adobe Reader will detect that such a font was used,
and ask the end user to download a font pack.
best regards,
Bruno
