There is no way to get access to the fonts Kobo supplies.

If the line spacing is too small, the solution is simple, just go to the Aa menu and adjust the line spacing.

If the line spacing is too big, also try adjusting the line spacing. You might or might not be able to get it to what you want. Kobo Nickle is an example of a font that you might not be able to properly adjust the line spacing as it starts off pretty wide.

I and others have seen this problem with the built-in Malabar font, but I can only make it happen by turning the device off and rebooting before opening the book. If I never turn the device off then the problem doesn't occur. Malabar is the only font I have encountered that has the problem, but there may be others. I don't know what it is about the font that triggers the problem.

I have noticed it with my heavily edited side loaded Literata. It another sideloaded type shows the same thing, inform me, I will try to find what they have in common.

I've fixed the problem in a dirty manner. I join the bugged font with another font without bug by fontforge, and now it's all ok.

I think the problem is related to the fatc that i remove line-height from css by calibre. I thought i solved joining two fonts but it is not
