If you mean one line of text, there was [NSFont
defaultLineHeightForFont] but that's depracated in 10.4 and you're
supposed to use a layout manager (NSLayoutManager).
If you mean multiple lines of text, you must calculate it using a
layout manager. But I could never find a typesetter behavior which
gave a reliably accurate answer for an NSTextField. The closest is
NSTypesetterBehavior_10_2_WithCompatibility. It seems to me that
Apple discourages multi-line NSTextFields. (You can't make one in
Interface Builder). My advice: If it's more than one line, use
NSTextView instead. A few months ago I put together a demo which
explains these issues. You might want to run it, read the comments at
the top of NS(Attributed)String+Geometrics.h, and/or check out the
references.

Let me know if I made any conceptual errors in that thing.
