It would help if you followed up the answers instead of starting new
questions. If you look at fitsText() documentation you'll see that the
font size will never be greater than a certain value, that in your case
is word.getFontSize(). For what you are trying to do, fitting single
lines, fitsText() may not be the best option. Make the font size the
size of the word height. Control the width with
PdfContentByte.setHorizontalScaling().
