You are making the wrong assumption that 'height of a font'
and 'space between 2 lines' are the same concept.
The space between 2 lines is called the leading in PDF.
See http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/objects/index.html#paragraph
and try the method setLeading.

There are many different answers to this question.

PdfWriter.getVerticalPosition could be the answer, but
I sense that in your case this hint will lead to an awful design.
Please read http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/objects/columns/
I think that ColumnText is what you really need.
