No, it seems to be caused by non-standard (or at least different than when a publisher does it) embedded fonts. Or non-standard (at least from Kobo's POV) font specifications in user added fonts.

EDIT: I am going to try to say this in a nice way, but I am struggling. Kobo may be an open device, but that does not, to me, mean that anything ending in .epub is guaranteed to work on it.
