Note: I'm posting this so it's in the email archives for anyone searching on 
this in the future.

In the call ColumnText.setSimpleColumn(), while the X parameters passed in are 
the left and right limits of the text to be rendered, the Y parameter is the 
baseline for the text, not a boundary. The values used internally by iText in 
ColumnText.showTextAligned are Y - 1 and Y + 2 where Y is the baseline.

The baseline is the location of the bottom of a character that has no descender 
such as A.
