No, I do not have the time for that.

Which again proofs that something very fishy is going on at your end. We use 
the same katepart that kate is using. So if you see something different in 
KDevelop and in Kate, than you must have different settings in both. Please, 
go to 

KDevelop: Settings -> Configure KDevelop -> Editor -> Fonts & Colors -> Fonts
and compare that to
Kate: Settings -> Configure Kate -> Editor -> Fonts & Colors -> Fonts

See the config dialog above. We do not offer tuning the line height. Also:

int KateRenderer::lineHeight() const
{
    return fontHeight();
}
