First of all it's right that I should have read the book completly. That's something that I really missed but I want you to know that I didn't refuse it.
I answer you because I think you should know that I did my best to resolve this leading problem. First the examples that you sent me are the things that I tried, too. I used the setLeading and setSpacingBefore method with fixed values, too. My request with this call was to find a good idea for a calculation method to set the leading and spacing of a paragraph that it would work fine with all different combinations of font sizes and font styles. Now I would like you to explain my use case with iText: I have got an user interface in that an user has different output methods. Each output method has its own font and style information. The problem is that not each output method can create a linebreak, so I could not directly use the Paragraph object. Instead of that I use the Chunk object to define the font and style and put this Chunk into a Phrase object. There is a special output command that creates a linebreak. In this case I take all the created Phrase objects and add them into one big Paragraph object. Then I define the different Paragraph options like leading and spacing with the parameters of this special output command. Therefore I need all these objects. I think my mistake was that I just saw only my program algorithm and forgot to write my request correctly. I would like to apologize that I have wasted your time to explain me some iText basic parts. At my next request I try to explain my problem exactly so that it would be easier to understand what I want.
