Hi,
I'm having the same problem to embed the 'base14' adobe fonts, to support PDF-X.
I have the PFB and AFM files, the fonts are embedded but in result the chars 
seems triangles!!!

 bf = BaseFont.createFont("Courier.pfb", "winansi", true);
 f = new Font(bf, 12, 0, Color.BLACK);

I have use another way to create these fonts?

Thanks,
Andrei Nunes

It's by design.
iText ships with the AFM files of all the standard Type 1 fonts.
If you want to embed such a font, you also need to provide the
PFB fonts (which iText doesn't have). This is explained in chapter 8
of the book. Do you have the PFB files for Courier?
