I am trying to scale down a phrase until it will fit in a given rectangle. I'm 
using a ColumnText, and calling go(true), then testing for HasMoreText.  But 
the status returned by go() keeps being 2 even when all the text fits easily 
into the rectangle.

What am I doing wrong?

        float fontSize = pageMetrics.getFontSizeMax();
        Phrase labelPhrase = GeneratePhrase(fontSize);

        // Now we scale the text down until either it fits or we run up against 
the specified minimum font size
        Rectangle textBox = getSpaceForLabelText();

        ColumnText col = new ColumnText(directContent);
        col.setSimpleColumn(textBox);
        col.addElement(labelPhrase);
        int textPrintingStatus = ColumnText.START_COLUMN;

        try {
            textPrintingStatus = col.go(true);

            while(ColumnText.hasMoreText(textPrintingStatus) && fontSize > 
pageMetrics.getFontSizeMin() ) {
                fontSize--;
                labelPhrase = GeneratePhrase(fontSize);
                col.clearChunks();
                col.addElement(labelPhrase);
                textPrintingStatus = col.go(true);
            }

            result.printedFontSize = fontSize;      // record the font size 
actually used
        } finally {
        }
