PDFBox doesn't look for additional fonts if the font is embedded. It simply tries to use the font which is part of the PDF. What happens if the PDF is distributed to someone who doesn't have the font installed? Could you share the PDF on a public location? As I don't have the font installed I would be interested to try filling it with Adobe Reader/Acrobat to see what might be used instead.
