My problem was the font file, the font wasn't a good font style for PDF, I don't know why, the first font type was invalid, but just to let you know that if you have a problem with one font, don't be afraid its happening, just try another font with the same style.

Good luck

I believe, the $subset parameter is wrong. It should be true, not false, to embed the whole font subset in your PDF. 

    $pdf->SetFont($fontname, '', 14, '', false); // Might be wrong.
    $pdf->SetFont($fontname, '', 14, '', true); // This should work
