I didn't expect to have to when I first got my Kobo. I added normal epubs via Calibre (most of my reading is side loaded epubs, bought direct from publishers and AllRomance) but I couldn't change the line height using the Kobo settings so I ended up with squashed text which for me was barely readable. Plus I ended up with great big blank spaces at the bottom of each page, sometimes as much as a third of the page.
It was only investigating the line height issue that led me to the blog I linked. Since then by changing the minimum line height to 180 from 120 and inserting the words line-height I can now change the line height (although I think just changing the 120 to 180 has achieved what I needed) plus adding the code for widows an orphans eliminated the footer issue.
Adding my own font is just another thing I did as I use the same font on my paperwhite.
It was the line-height issue that was my biggest problem and apparently that's just a side loaded ePub problem.
