That's not a problem, just an option. Let's analyze the options: 1 - leading space between the top padding and the baseline (as it's now). Pros, all the chars will fit. Cons, space between the ascender and the top padding for most of the chars.
2 - ascender space between the top padding and the baseline. Pros, looks better for capitals. Cons, lower case will still have space and some characters will be clipped. 3 - lower case height between the top padding and the baseline. Pros, looks better for lower case. Cons, all the characters except lower case will be clipped. 4 - space based on bbox of characters in the line. Pros, no character is clipped and space is the minimum. Cons, bbox analysis on each char, baseline may be different even with same font and size, iText doesn't gather the bbox information. Option 2 may be possible, I'll have to think about it.
