Oh, or the css has body text set to small.
I was looking at an eBook the other day that the base font size is set to 0.983em and body is just a line height of 1.25.

I find this rather annoying.

My preference is no line height in the CSS and then I can use the Kobo line height slider to set it as I want.

Yes, also with no line-height set the font metrics should otherwise decide the spacing. Maybe setting line-height is OK for webpages, but IMO shouldn't exist in ebooks.
My Calibre conversion default settings remove it. Then even without adjusting Kobo GUI all ebooks look OK.

The css should not specify anything about body text.

I agree. But a lot of eBooks do make the body text a smaller size then leaving it as the default size.

Graphic images to simulate text instead of an embedded fonts. Or graphic images to simulate a two column table.

Graphic images that are too small.
