My son has the new kobo and it is really nice to be able to load the fonts you want on the device and change fonts, line spacing, margins etc. on the fly. The last I saw it was only working on purchased books but it is definitely a start to have in the built in firmware.
Version 1.9.5 of the firmware for the Touch included the ability to side-load fonts which can be used with both Kobo EPUBS and non-Kobo EPUBS. I have encountered one instance where the side-loaded fonts did not work with a non-Kobo EPUB. I am assuming that the reason for this was the way the publisher constructed the EPUB.
