It's been a while since I've done it myself, so here are a few jumble of keywords for you: metrics, ascent, descent
I did that, reducing ascender, descender, setting line gap to zero. It certainly makes a difference in FontCreator's preview, but makes no difference in kindle (I did restart). Not sure what values it is lookimg at.
