Hack to reduce KF8 line height

Is there a hack/patch/fix to reduce the line height in KF8 on eInk Kindles?

Erm, using your Charis SIL mods?

(Or editing font metrics for other custom fonts) Otherwise no. So far no one managed to find the place (.jar file(s) ) where those 3 line spacing values are hardcoded, just as no one found where the margin values are hardcoded for Kindle 3 and 4 (so as to make margin change permanent, not having to edit reader.pref file after someone plays with Aa menu options).

Though my 5c doesn't change overall correctness of your message, FWIW I'd like to add that these values are hardcoded not in JARs, but in separate KF8 renderer.
