I would really appreciate that.
Some fonts don't lend themselves to auto-modifiying. Some fonts would have to be hand tweaked for each character in the font (except for the various space type characters). Also, not having a Kindle, I cannot tweak the line height to override the KF8 line-height bug. It would require a lot of back and forth with screen shots to see if the line height was properly adjusted.

Fontforge is the only free program I know of to do this. There is a Windows compile that craps out if you even breath. So that's worthless. You can try to run it under Cygwin. If that fails, you'd have to do so under Linux.
