In the end I subclased the NSTextField class and overrid the drawRect function. I then split the string up into its lines and drew them myself using drawRect. This is some of the first Cocoa code I have written, so please don't hurt me if what I am doing is crazy!
Well, what you're doing is using only explicit line breaks, rather than allowing wrapping, and you're taking into account only \n as a line separator, rather than handling all of the line and paragraph break characters. What you're doing will work, more or less, but it's not sufficiently general to be a real solution.
I missed the initial question, but in general line heights are controlled by an NSParagraphStyle, which is used as the value of the NSParagraphStyleAttributeName attribute. This is the same object that controls most paragraph-level styling, including line breaking, alignment, etc.
