There is no documented way to do this.  The height of the tabs is
controlled by the look and feel.  It generally depends on the size of
the font in use and a number of other properties.  These properties may
be used by different look-and-feels, but there is no guarantee of that.

Looking at the BasicLookAndFeel and BasicTabbedPaneUI classes, I find
the following properties are used to control the layout of the tabs.

    "TabbedPane.textIconGap"
    "TabbedPane.tabInsets"
    "TabbedPane.selectedTabPadInsets"
    "TabbedPane.tabAreaInsets"
    "TabbedPane.contentBorderInsets"

You can modify these properties by changing the UIDefaults, which you
can get from the UIManager.
