Okay, the problem is solved.
the thing that confused me that was the BaseFont.createFont() method
when fails to load the fonts it doesn't throw an IOException (as the
javadoc sais), but it falls back to Helvetica. (and this method can't
load fonts from classpath /jar/, so I had no clue what's wrong)
The correct way to embedding fonts loaded from jars is loading them
with FontFactory:
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 50, 50, 50, 50);
try {
// step 2
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream("encoding.pdf"));
// step 3
document.open();
// step 4
String text = "Árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép .\u0150\u0151\u0170\u0171.";
Font font = FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.TIMES, 10, Font.NORMAL);
Font font2 =
FontFactory.getFont("/fonts/linuxlibertine/LinLibertine_Re-4.1.8.ttf",BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,BaseFont.EMBEDDED,10);
document.add(new Paragraph(text, font));
document.add(new Paragraph(text, font2));
}
catch (Exception de) {
de.printStackTrace();
}
// step 5
document.close();
