I changed Typo Line Gap and Line Gap. The original value was 0 for the first image and I changed it to 200 for the second image. These value work for ADE.

For KF8 I changed Typo Ascender/Typo Descender, Win Ascent/Win Descent, and Ascender/Descender.

All it takes is some experimenting to get the values you want so you don't have to use line height in CSS. It also makes KF8 usable as the line height displayed won't be too large.

Take a look at my modified Charis SIL versions. They have two different line heights when used on a Kindle with KF8.
