iText already does this for you: float fontSize = chunk.font().size(); float ascender = chunk.font().getFont().getFontDescriptor(BaseFont.ASCENT, fontSize); float descender = chunk.font().getFont().getFontDescriptor(BaseFont.DESCENT, fontSize); The font provides the values for ASCENT and DESCENT. If you want to fine tune this, you'll have to dig into the font and hope the metrics you need are available. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
