That's a rounding artifact. If you have:
float width = font.getBaseFont().getWidthPoint(value, font.size()) + 0.001f;
the tables will look the same.

Subject: [iText-questions] Table looks different depending on its alignment
> Hi,

> The following code creates two identical tables with a single cell. One of
