Itext7 error on embedded fonts when generating pdfa

Question

I am trying to generate a PDF-A but I get the following error when I try to set the font to the Paragraph :

Exception in thread "main" com.itextpdf.pdfa.exceptions.PdfAConformanceException: All the fonts must be embedded. This one is not: Courier
    at com.itextpdf.pdfa.checker.PdfA1Checker.checkFont(PdfA1Checker.java:305)
    at com.itextpdf.pdfa.PdfADocument.flushFonts(PdfADocument.java:282)
    at com.itextpdf.kernel.pdf.PdfDocument.close(PdfDocument.java:968)
    at com.itextpdf.layout.Document.close(Document.java:117)

C:\Users\UC9001309\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\8.2\executor-snippets\run.xml:53: Java returned: 1
BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)

In the normal pdf generation I used these commands to set the font to the paragraph :

PdfFont font = PdfFontFactory.createFont(StandardFonts.COURIER);
Paragraph p = new Paragraph();
p.setFont(font);

But in PDF-A I get the error about embed fonts. Maybe because it is already incorporated? Does anyone know which command to use for p.setFont without creating the font but using the font embedded ?

        //Document document = new Document(pdfA); 
          
        Document document = new Document(pdfA, PageSize.A4, false);
        pdfA.setTagged();
        pdfA.getCatalog().setLang(new PdfString("it-IT"));
        pdfA.getCatalog().setViewerPreferences(new PdfViewerPreferences().setDisplayDocTitle(true));
        PdfDocumentInfo info = pdfA.getDocumentInfo();
        info.setTitle("TEST PdfA "); 
        System.out.println(FontProgramFactory.getRegisteredFontFamilies());
        System.out.println(FontProgramFactory.getRegisteredFonts());

        PdfFont font = PdfFontFactory.createFont(StandardFonts.COURIER);

        Paragraph p = new Paragraph();
        p.setFont(font);
        p.add("Prova pdfa");
        document.add(p);
        document.close();
    }
}

Thanks!
