Hi,
I had same issues with the standard type 1 fonts for Greek, so I'm using a
.ttf font instead, as iText is mentioning in his post.
What I do is to use Arial as my font of choice as follows:
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont(pathArial, BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,
BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
bf.setSubset(true);
Font _ARIAL8 = new Font(bf, 8);
pathArial is the path to the arial.ttf font in a resource file I use.
