That's it ! NSLayoutManager defaultLineHeightForFont works, thanks.

But only for NSFont. CTFontRef will the return same font size. I can live with 
that, get value from NSFont & NSLayoutManager before doing anything else.

I tested it, when the Helvetica  font size is 12.0, the default line height is 
14.0 . If when the Helvetica font size is 18.0, the default line height of is 
22.0.  Default line height is define by the font size.
