How do I get the height of an XNA SpriteFont?

Question

I have some text in a spritefont and I need to know the height in pixels.

I would have thought that MeasureString() would get me close to it, but it seems to just be about length.

Answer 1

MeasureString() returns to you a Vector2 where the X is the width and Y is the height of the text.

Also the SpriteFont class has a LineSpacing member that gives you the height of a line, including text and blank space.
