Anak, I know that the installed fonts, at one time, varied depending on geographical location of the set-up. I don't know if this is still true, but I will ask in the beta group (not that all questions there necessarily get answered...). There was, at some point, a limit on how many font sets were included on any given FW edition. When, for example, Ryumin and other new font sets were added, others were pulled from the version I see in Canada.

Getting full sets of fonts, with all the glyphs, and having them work properly on the Kobo is rather a dogs breakfast. I have never understood why this is so hard for them to get right.

EDIT: so I checked. There is no localization of installed fonts on Kobo devices. Georgia is currently the font that handles Eastern European languages the best.
