Sorry, but I am going to say "no" to this one.

What if instead of doing it that way, you did it by taking the current font size and determining how many characters per line that was. Then you could internally just convert the number of lines to a number of characters and continue the way you do now. This wouldn't be an exact answer because of kerning, but it would get you a pretty good result. If you cut the internal character count by 5%, you would probably never go over the number of lines requested and it would still work well.
If the non-deterministic-ness of this bothers you, I withdraw the suggestion.
