There is no chance for the LayoutManager on the server to know into how many
lines the browser will break a text. Html makes no difference between
lf, tab and space. If your application knows the needed height you can
set the layout by valuebinding e.g.:
rows="#{controller.textHeight};1*"
where controller.getTextHeight() returns somthing like
(lines * 16) + "px"

Ahh.... sorry. I just found this here
(http://myfaces.apache.org/tobago/faq.html#tobago/layout):

My guess was that "fixed" is the height of the component taking multiple
lines of text (e.g.) into account...
But is it then possible at all to have a simple n-line text output
rendered in a space just large (high) enough to display every single
line?? Or are certain container tricks necessary like nesting the n-line
"out" element in a specific fashion?
