Also, Kobo defaults to a line height of 1.3 which is even worse then 1.2. So you have to set a line height there or you get large gaps. I actually like Charis SIL set at a line height of 1.0 which is the default for most ADE versions (Desktop and Sony). I do remove line height when it makes the text too big or I adjust it if needed to make the lines closer.
Well, a line height of 1.2 is the absolute minimum that Kindles will allow, so in the more broad world of eBook publishing, using a smaller value is probably a bad idea.
