Re: Finding the height of a piece of text

Vincent,

One thing unclear from your description is how the height returned 
from the code snippet is incorrect.  You mentioned the height is too 
small.
We need to know how it's small compared to what.  Are you measuring 
using the layout manager and rendering with something else ?

If you're using either NSStringDrawing or NSCell, as Steve mentioned, 
it's most likely typesetter behavior mismatch.

Thanks,

Aki
