Hello Sebastian, i already checked FontDescriptor and the font i was trying
to check isForceBold=false even if look in pdf as bold.There's a
fontManager, but it use font's name to validade if is bold or not and in my
case, the font don't has bold in it's name.

Take a look in the Font Descriptor Flag (see 9.8.2 in PDF Reference Book) : there is a « ForceBold » flag, maybe your font has the flag setted.
