Hi. First of all you need the font in *.ttf format and the adobe font metrics 
file *.afm related to this font. Generating the afm is simple here:
http://fpdf.fruit-lab.de/

Example:
[Embed( source="fonts/fff.ttf", mimeType="application/octet-stream" )]
public var times_ttf:Class;
[Embed( source="fonts/fff.afm", mimeType="application/octet-stream" )]
public var times_afm:Class;
...
var f:EmbeddedFont = new EmbeddedFont(new times_ttf() as ByteArray, new 
times_afm() as ByteArray, CodePage.CP1252); 
pdf.setFont(f, 16);
pdf.addText("This works!");
...
