Hello mojavelinux,
thanks for Your answer.
I tried to read the docs, but maybe not seriously enough ;)
But, unfortunately, your hint didn't help.

Here is my theme:
cat /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/asciidoctor-pdf-1.5.0.alpha.14/data/themes/hit-theme.yml
extends: default
base:
    font-color: #FFFF00
heading:
    font-color: #24A0ED

When I uss this, I get the same error as in my first post.

When I try with added variable pdf-fontsdir
/usr/bin/asciidoctor-pdf -d book -b pdf  -a title -a pdf-fontsdir=/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/asciidoctor-pdf-1.5.0.alpha.14/data/fonts -a pdf-theme=/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/asciidoctor-pdf-1.5.0.alpha.14/data/themes/hit-theme.yml  -o /u1/dcpa/etroot_entw/tmp/tmp.17302.pdf Noah.asc
no errors are generated, but the output is unchanged, it seems to me, as the hit-theme.yml is been ignored.

ls -la /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/asciidoctor-pdf-1.5.0.alpha.14/data/fonts

When I try this:
gem contents asciidoctor-pdf --show-install-dir
I get:
