It's really not worth it to me to troubleshoot either as I still would prefer epubs over kepubs. But it's definitely not limited to embedded or Charis fonts.
I didn't say it was limited to Charis, just that most times I have seen it was with a Charis font. From my books, they seem to be the most popular for embedding, so I sort of expect it when I recognise the font. When I did first see it, I sideloaded some Charis variants and they all had the same issue at the font size and line spacing I like to read at.

But, I don't think I have seen this with any of the installed fonts. Maybe I'm just not using the right settings. If I had, I would have reported it promptly to Kobo. As it is, until something demonstrates it is something else, I will continue to assume it is the font definition.
