Leading and PDFPTables and PDFPCells

[Scott McKenzie <Scott_McKenzie (at) hermanmiller.com>]

I am having trouble getting leading to work within PDFPTable / PDFPCell.  It appears to be ignoring leading no matter what level I place it at.  If I remove the ImageI saw a few other posts in regard
to this but none really answered my question.  The code follows...

      public Document CreateChapterPages(Document document, Properties aProperties, Book aBook)
            throws DocumentException      {

                  int itemsOnPage = 0;
                  boolean bCreateHeader = true;
                  DAO aDAO = new DAO();

                  Chapter aChapter = null;
                  List chaptersList = aDAO.getChaptersByType(aBook.getBookId(),"'P'");    //    Get all chapters

                  PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(5);
                  PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();


                  for (int i = 0; i < chaptersList.size(); i++)   {                             //    Iterate through chapters

                        cell = new PdfPCell();
                        cell.setNoWrap(false);
                        cell.setLeading(.5f, 1.0f);
                        itemsOnPage++;

                        if (bCreateHeader)      {
                              document.add(table);
                              document.newPage();
                              itemsOnPage = 1;
                              bCreateHeader = false;
                              document = CreateFrontPageHeader(document, aBook, aProperties);
                        }

                        aChapter = (Chapter) chaptersList.get(i);

                        cell.setBorder(0);                                                                        //    Hide table border
                        cell.setFixedHeight(200);
                        table.getDefaultCell().setLeading(.5f, 1.0f);

                        try   {
                              Image jpg = Image.getInstance(aProperties.getImageSrc() + aChapter.getChapterThumbnailImage()); //    Get the image from the file system
                              jpg.scalePercent(aProperties.getThumbNailScale());                //    Scale image
                              jpg.setAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER);                                 //    Center justify
                              cell.addElement(jpg);
                              cell.setLeading(.5f, 1.0f);
                        } catch (IOException ioe) {
                              System.err.println(ioe.getMessage());
                        }

                        cell.addElement(new Chunk("Chapter " + (i+1)  + ".  ",                  //    Display chapter number
                              FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 10)));
                        cell.setLeading(.5f, 1.0f);
                        cell.addElement(new Chunk(aChapter.getChapterTitle(),             //    Display chapter title
                              FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA_BOLD, 10)));
                        cell.setLeading(.5f, 1.0f);
                        table.addCell(cell);

                        if (itemsOnPage == 10 ) {                                                           //    10 items per page
                              bCreateHeader = true;
                        }
                  }

                  document.add(table);

                  return document;
      }
