Of course.
There's the online tutorial:
http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/fonts/
http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/fonts/getting/index.html#jars
http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/fonts/styles/index.html#direction

but if you have read one of my very recent posts, I'm no longer
happy with the tutorial chapters on fonts:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.lib.itext.general/25369

The book chapters are much better. Have a look at some book samples:

http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/examples/chapter08/ChineseKoreanJa
paneseFonts.java
http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/examples/chapter08/results/cjk.pdf

http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/examples/chapter08/TrueTypeCollect
ions.java
http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/examples/chapter08/results/ttc.pdf

http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/examples/chapter09/VerticalTextExa
mple.java
http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/examples/chapter09/results/vertica
l_text.pdf

There are more examples available online, but you need the book to be
able to log in, and the book will only be available in November.

br,
Bruno
