cfdocument, fonts not displaying after upgrade to cf8

I am using cfdocument to create a PDF. The code used to run successfully in CF7 and since the switch to cf8 my font (ShelleyAllegro BT) is showing up as Times New Roman. I have installed ShelleyAllegro BT into the regular windows fonts directory and no luck. If I output the HTML to the screen it displays properly, but once I save it as a pdf using cfdocument it goes back to Times New Roman.

What do I do?

I'm not sure what to suggest. I can confirm it's not some weird
incompatibility with CF8's <cfdocument> implementation and the font,
because it renders OK for me.

Can you post some code the demonstrates what you're seeing?

Here's the test code. The text display as times new roman. When I check the properties/fonts tab of the pdf it only shows Times New Roman as being embedded in the document.

Here's the code:

did you restart the cf server/service after you installed the font?
are you using fontembed attribute in <cfdocument> tag?

Yes, CF has been restarted numerous times. The font shows up properly in font management in the cfadmin. I can display the font in HTML just not in cfdocument. I have fontembed in the cfdoc tag set to true. It's a ttf.
