You could try adding a line-height: 1.2; to the class that uses that font (I do that with 'Charis')

Well, it doesn't cause a problem in the ebook. It looks fine when viewing through a software or hardware reader. It is only withing Sigil that the lines are displayed this way. I really don't think I'd want to modify the line-height to correct a display issue within Sigil that isn't actually manifesting itself within the book in a reader.
Just for the sake of argument, I tried this anyway and, like I'd thought, it really doesn't make much difference at all. Adjusting the line height will change the amount of space added to a line with italics, but it will not do away with it. You can look at a line with italics on it, and the line with italics will always have a larger space below it than a line without italics, often numerous times within the same paragraph.
I've used Sigil for about three full years now and have used it with many embedded fonts but I have never seen this sort of behavior before; definitely not with Charis.
Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't help with the display issue here. Again, it isn't an issue with the epub itself. It's a display quirk only within Sigil.
