For a language like Korean it should not be too big of a problem because they have an alphabet (as long as you don't include the characters), but for Chinese, the number of characters is quite substantial.

However, since the Kobo has an SD card slot, the size of the font files should not be too big of an issue. Maybe Kobo will have an extra Font file we can download alongside firmware 2.0

Go Kobo!

I really wish an actually rep from Kobo would read this thread though...

"since the Kobo has an SD card slot," you meant the slot inside, right? I have not had chance to look into the firmware files on the SD card inside, I supposed it not that easy that the font file is a seperate file on that SD?
