thank you all for your replies
in the end I'm with Hitch: it seems to be a lost cause for KF8 really (and not only for embedded fonts)
IIRC Amazon KF8 guidelines say the 1.2em/120% minimum line-height is set to get good pagination. I can see sense in this one - but perhaps it would have been more elegant to set the minimum for block but not for inline elements.
AFAIK CSS-standard would be inline elements inheriting line-height in absolute computed terms when for the parent the line-height is set in % or em. This doesn't work with KF8 for Kindle own fonts or for embedded fonts. So - one can say - KF8 isn't css-compliant.
As I'm new to ebook-formatting I hoped for some css that work with KF8 when I asked the question. The float- and the svg-things are clever but I don't think it is worth the effort to "out-fox" a restriction apllied by Amazon with intention.
Thank you again!
