My first instinct is to blame the font. I selected the text in the PDF
you attached and a fair portion of the loop of the 'd' is outside the
selection's box... which isn't a good sign. OTOH It's hard to tell for
sure but it looks like the bottom of the Y would fit into the
selection's box, and that box drops below the bottom of the cell.
I'm still inclined to blame the font.

Subject: [iText-questions] iText Text Chopping Issue with
Embedded Fonts
Hello everyone, this is my first email to this list. I am trying
to use iText to create pdfs with simple text using different fonts. I am
having an issue with the text being chopped off when I try to align the
text based on ascender and descender. I have attached the pdf in
question with this email so that everyone can take a look. I am using
the following function to create the pdf. If anyone please help me with
suggestions on how to prevent the text chopping issue, I'd really
appreciate that.
public void createPdf() throws DocumentException, IOException {
FontFactory.registerDirectory("/var/fonts/", true);
String text = "yfd";
float width = 100;
float height = 50;
float fontSize = 20;
String fontName = "SquarePegROB";
Font font = FontFactory.getFont(fontName, "",
BaseFont.EMBEDDED, fontSize, 0, new BaseColor(new Color(0, 0, 0)));
Paragraph contentParagraph = new Paragraph(text, font);
contentParagraph.setLeading(fontSize * 1.2f);
Document doc = new Document(new Rectangle(width,
height));
doc.setMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream( new
File("/home/mhossain/itext/pdfs/pdftest.pdf"));
PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, fos);
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
table.setWidthPercentage(100);
table.setTotalWidth(width);
table.setLockedWidth(true);
table.setSpacingBefore(0);
table.setSpacingAfter(0);
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(contentParagraph);
cell.setColspan(1);
cell.setFixedHeight(height);
cell.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_LEFT);
cell.setVerticalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_BOTTOM);
cell.setUseAscender(true);
cell.setUseDescender(true);
cell.setPadding(0);
table.addCell(cell);
doc.open();
doc.add(table);
doc.close();
fos.close();
}
Sincerely,
Mir
