You can access them also using telnet. The Kobo Start Menu also contains a small terminal simulator, which could do the job.
The other way is to prepare a KoboRoot.tgz that contains the path usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts, and to put there empty files with the names of the font files you want to get rid of. Then copy the KoboRoot.tgz to the .kobo folder. You can find the font names by inspecting one of the more recent update files (cf. the sticky Direct Links to Kobo Firmware).
I don't know. In any case I would not delete Avenir and Georgia, because these two fonts and Gothic, are the only fonts that nickel loads at start up. If you delete Avenir and Georgia, you might possibly be left with an interface without visible captions. If Gothic is still there, some models might use this font. (If you want to test it, a factory reset will bring you back to normal, if anything happens.) The other fonts don't become available to the interface unless you open the font settings menu, or if you open a kepub that has a certain font assigned to it, this font becomes available to the interface.

Ah okay good to know. Mainly I was just trying to hide the fonts that are broken on the Aura with the custom (shorter) footer patch but seeing how the system is dependent on some of these I may just stick to the stock footer size. I do really appreciate everyone's patience to explain all of these aspects of the system though as I find it very interesting and enlightening.
