Convert to epub as you normally would.

That should remove any hard coded line-height, and the kobo sliders will work as advertised. I might think that would make a sensible default option for kobo users, but I haven't really tested all that much across a wide range of books/devices.
I don't encounter the problem that often. I think I have just two books that wouldn't allow me to change the fonts or the line spacing (both published by Penguin). I'd solved the font problem, and your suggestion does solve the other. Now both books allow different fonts and different line spacings. Thank you very much for your help on this.
