I think this problem could be repeated. Try it, wait some days, and try it again.

What official site did you download those fonts from? The only official fonts are part of the Kobo firmware and I am unaware of a download site for them.
As for the fonts in the .zip file you supplied, they are not going to work on a Kobo even when copied into the fonts folder in the root of the internal storage. Please check the information in the modified fonts sticky about font naming. Your Linux Libertine font shows a font family name of the Linux Libertine O and that
MUST be the first part of the font file name.
If you change the font file names as follows:
Code:
old name new name
LinLibertine_RI.otf Linux Libertine O-Italic.otf
LinLibertine-Bold.otf Linux Libertine O-Bold.otf
LinLibertine_BoldItalic.otf Linux Libertine O-BoldItalic.otf
LinLibertine-Regular.otf Linux Libertine O-Regular.otf
then you have a hope of getting this font to work for you. If the font file names are not correct, your Kobo will select a font for you.
My font tester files worked after the files were renamed, copied into the fonts directory and the ereader power cycled (pinhole reset works as well).
Personally I find the font too lightweight for comfortable long term reading but à chacun son goût.
