XSLFTextShape#getTextHeight() returns the cumulative height occupied by the text, but this method is private for now. The implementation is pretty complex and takes into account all character and paragraph properties such as font size and family, line spacing, spacings before and after paragraphs, margins, indents, etc.
I'm going to make it public. For now you can call it via reflection or apply this change to trunk and use your custom build.
