You were right! I noticed a dramatic improvement when I added the Kobo suffixes to all the embedded fonts: ie -Regular, -Italic. All the streaks on the screen disappeared. Even the display of dropcaps is now nearly good (just a little too high; with for some letters like D, I still have some display quirks.

I took care to bring back the right balance for the three Kobo cursors but as Kobo does not provide numerical values, you never can be 100% sure about it.

I have good hope, with some more trials, to achieve a nice result. So, the good and plain answer seems to be: "Do not forget to add the Kobo font suffixes to your embedded fonts"

Thanks for the tip!!

Nota: I selected the option: "Default document" for the font choice.

@jackie

Thanks also for your implementation of dropcaps. I will look at it.
