It's nothing to do with the user agent. It's not actually line height information in the font, but the metrics. I can change the metrics and change the amount of space between lines. I've done this for ADE & Kindle (KF8) and it's worked. So while technically correct that there is no line height information in a font, there are metrics that say how to render the space between lines and that can be changed.
