Edit: I also noticed odd behavior with at least the Kobo Nickel font, where the last line of one page with any descenders gets cut off and will be seen at the top of the following page.[/QUOTE]

I like how Nickel looks as an ereading font, but the descender thing drives me nuts so I don't use it. I find it very odd that Kobo actually commisioned this font for their use, brags on it in some of its promo mateirals, but can't seem to get it right. Not just the descenders, either, but some lack of glyphs, and, if I remember correctly, that whole italics showing as bold, thing.
