I think you've said in the past that you don't patch. I suspect this is probably why you don't see the problem with the built-in fonts. I wouldn't be surprised if this is why Kobo have set their default minimum line spacing as large as they have. I think it's 1.0 (1.0
whats, I don't know). The minimum after patching is 0.75 (although this is user-configurable).
There are definitely 'toxic combinations' of font-family/font-size/line-height. For example, I was able to recreate haydnfan's massive whitespace at the bottom of many pages (even in a kepub), by adjusting font-size for Avenir at minimum (patched) line spacing. It's also quite easy to get cut-off last lines with Georgia plus very small line spacing.
If you patch line spacing, to get a 'good' result, you just need to be a bit flexible with your settings.
