You might want to take a look at the Summary of Modified Fonts sticky (
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=204363 ) which does a pretty decent job of covering how to add the fonts. I'd recommend reading at least the first message and it's spoilers.
Having suggested that and going by memory, a couple of points:
The fonts go into a directory in the root of the Kobo's internal storage. The directory name
must be fonts (all lower case).
The font file name must match the internal font name -- if you are using Windows, you can use Windows Font Viewer and use the name displayed as the font name. As an example,the only time I looked at the DroidHindi font, the font name was actually HelveM_Hindi. So you'd have to rename the font file from DroidHindi.ttf to HelveM_Hindi.ttf. As DroidHindi has no variants, you don't need to worry about -Bold, -Italic, -whatever in the file name. Copy that file into the fonts directory, power cycle your Kobo ereader and select the font from the Aa menu.
Happy reading!
