Nevermind, it seems that Tiger's new attributed string
method, -boundingRectWithSize:, works nicely:
float lineHeight = [textAstr
boundingRectWithSize:NSMakeSize(1e7,100)
options:nil].size.height;
Thanks anyway,

Hello,
I feel this should be very simple, so I am probably
overlooking something very obvious, but...
I am drawing an attributed string in a view using
NSAttributedString's drawInRect: method. I would like
to make this view look like lined paper, so I need to
draw lines between each line of text. How can I get
the line height for each line of text drawn to
calculate this?
I have tried calling pointSize on the font, but this
doesn't give the padding. I have also tried using
NSLayoutManager like this:
NSLayoutManager *lm = [[NSLayoutManager alloc] init];
float lineHeight = [lm defaultLineHeightForFont:font];
[lm release];
Neither seem to work right for all fonts, however.
If anyone has any suggestions of how to calculate the
line height for arbitrary fonts when using
NSAttributedString's drawInRect: so that I can figure
out where to draw my lines, I would be very grateful.
Many thanks,
Keith
