Maybe you'd like to try setting line-height:0 in the superscript span style, and reset the p line height? I had good results on a couple of our academic books which also contains a lot of superscript. You could probably also raise the superscript a little if you did that, it doesn't seem like it would overlap with the line above.

It's disgraceful when a Reader and/or app has defaults that cannot easily be overridden and those defaults are obnoxious. |

So yes, no disagreement here. What Amazon has done with KF8 is broken. Badly. Embarrassingly. |

Glad to hear it. I wasn't aware of that trick myself a while ago, and now I'll have to amend our entire backlog of epubs in order to be able to sleep at night

Definitely agree with this, I've just got myself a Kobo Mini and its driving me mad that I can't switch off the hyphenation without forcing it in the CSS. |

Don't use 1.2em. It's too big. |

ADE and calibre viewer almost certainly use a default in the region of 1.2em for paragraph line-height. This is a very sensible value to use and ensures that letters with "descenders", (g p q y), don't bump into tall letters on the next line. 1.0em is definitely NOT the default for line-height on all readers.
Do use 1.2em, or 1.1em or even 1.0em, (though this one really is a bit tight), or simply leave it to default as the OP suggested, (and you'll get something in the region of 1.2em on ADE based readers.) Last edited by Agama; 05-07-2013 at 07:38 AM. |

I keep it on the value 'normal'. That way a good reader can decide for themselves.

Most time I don't specify a line height. In a few font cases, I have to specify 1.2 as the default space seems overly (screen) wasteful of space The only other time I use it, is when I mix fonts on a line and the inherited space prevailes (probably due to bad coding on my part) |
