By the way. You do not have to edit the font in a complicated way to adjust size, line space ...
All you need is a proper software on your reader that lets you set exact size and linespace.
I have jailbroken my Kindle PW and installed Coolreader by Crazy Coder. It lets me to set any font size and lets me tweak linespace in a small increments.

I have also installed Duokan - alternative Chinese firmware. Duokan doesn't have as many configuration options as Coolreader.
Oh ... and in coolreader you are not limited in number of fonts. Well ... you probably are, but the fonts are displayed as a scrollable list, so you can have MANY of them. You are not limited to one screen.
