Thank you for testing the ttf file. The file in SL is a ttc file which I was unable to find on the net and I am not surprised after learning that the ttc font uses the resource fork which only works on Mac where the font is always available. If Java and because of that iText is unable to read the font correctly which font is then embedded into the document? Does iText support the ttc format at all? I checked the font in leopard and there LucidaGrande is stored as a dfont where the font information is stored in the file data fork which obviously seem to work.
Darn Mac people.... Resource forks really must die....
