Hello,

a problem I encountered when using templates to add text to an absolute
location - when I use the function defined below, it somewhy cuts
everything below the base line. That is "g", "j", commas etc. are only
shown partly. Is that a bug or a feature?

Thanks,
Ilja

--- function body ---

  private void addTextToAbsoluteLocation(String text, float size,
float x, float y ) throws DocumentException, IOException {
    PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
    PdfTemplate template = cb.createTemplate(20, 20);

    BaseFont bf = someFont.getBaseFont();
    float width = bf.getWidthPoint(text, size);

    template.beginText();    
    template.setFontAndSize(bf, size);
    template.setWidth(width);
    template.showText(text);
    template.endText();

    cb.addTemplate(template, x, y);    
  }
