If I'm so wrong, then maybe it's because the fonts I was testing were failing to display certain non latin characters. (ancient greek with accents, it displayed the non accented greek alphabet but could never display accented letters). So I'll have to test again with styles that are more visually extreme and see if they are there or not.
Not owning a kobo, I'm not going to go to the store right now soon, so I'll get back to this later.

But maybe someone else having difficulty embedding fonts could get in on this.

Thanks for noticing! I'd be only too happy if I was mistaking character display rendering difficulties to be font inclusion/embedding failures. OTOH, it wouldn't solve the kobo's complex-compound unicode character display problems (or any other reader's problems on that front). But thats another story.
