Only True Type Fonts (TTF) are supported by PDFreactor.

Generally, the true type fonts must be registered by the Java VM as well as by PDFreactor. As it is required to embed the fonts into the PDF document in most cases, the physical location of the used fonts must be registered to PDFreactor separately.

Per default, PDFreactor scans the standard font directories of the current platform, as well as the font directory of the used Java VM, which is usually JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fonts to register all available fonts which reside in these folders.
