I can't think of any reason why you'd need to do that.
The code snippet you provide is... very awkward.
I don't see how that would ever work.

What do you do if the phrase has different fonts in
different color? This is a very complicated way to
achieve something that can be done using only one line:
ColumnText.showTextAligned(canvas, Element.ALIGN_LEFT, Phrase, x, y, 0);
See chapter 3 of the second edition of "iText in Action".
