I forgot that Phrases could contain multiple chunks, which could use different
fonts. That being said, I found it strange that
phrase.getFont().getBaseFont()
phrase.getFont().getSize()
both return something, while phrase.getFont().getColor() returns null
Regardless, it's a moot point and I'll modify my code to use
ColumnText.showTextAligned(canvas, Element.ALIGN_LEFT, Phrase, x, y, 0);
thanks for the tip
Jason

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".
