You want to look at the methods on the Font class, like "measure". See
http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/x4671-methods.htm .

Also take a look at what the metrics method returns; IIRC it has the
height of the font in there, in case you need it.

I'd also like to echo the comments of others about asking better
questions; the more urgent the question the more important a direct, to
the point subject line is, making it more likely a knowledgeable person
will find it. I happen to know the answer though so I can actually give it
;-)

Good luck.
