Select frame or field display, select magnify and count the lines where
you have text (easier over black) - note that if you're looking at one
field you'll see 11 lines (the other 11 are on the other field).
Also - scan line height counts from the top of the tallest capital
letter to the bottom of the lowest descender so check with a mix of
characters i.e. TTTyyy.
NB. There is no FCC or SMPTE spec for size of legal disclaimers - just
that they be legible. The size requirement comes from the client's legal
department or the broadcaster that will be airing the spot.

the ONLY accurate way to check scan line size is to measure it with a
scope.
