I downloaded and stripped them and sure enough, the fonts showed up in sigil, calibre and ADE, but not on the kobo.
looking at the CSS file, the fonts were define, but the only style that was defined using them was "body". All the other styles entries were set to just make mods to that font when needed. The way it looks, the kobo doesn't like it when the the main body holds the style (doesn't see it), and is looking at each individual style entry to grab whatever font it wants to use instead. Not sure why ADE would pick up the body and not the KOBO, but it could be a "bug" or could have been a consious decision. I'm going to play with it a bit more this week to see if there's something else other than.
cheers!

Having the font-family declaration in the body is a common occurrence. Otherwise, you have to have it in every style used. That's why it's in the Body style. By Kobo not supporting the embedded font in Body, they are seriously changing the reading experience for many users.
I am surprised Kobo has not said a word on embedded fonts even though I've brought it up in a number of threads. They just ignore it like everything is working properly which we know it's not.
