ETA: Those 2 fonts are also an order of magnitude larger than the other built-ins. Maybe this is why the rest of the font family files are missing.

OTF fonts can include bold, italic, bold-italic, smallcaps and much else inside the single file. As far as I can tell, the Gothic and Ryumin fonts also contain a lot more glyphs than the TTF fonts supplied in the firmware making them useful for displaying non-Latin languages. Unfortunately since they are obfuscated, it's not simple to determine exactly what features are included.
Even more sadly, many of the .OTF fonts you find on the Internet are simply renamed .ttf files and not true OTF fonts thogh strictly speaking an OTF font can be in a file with the ttf filetype.
And here I'd better stop before I get into a riff on cubic vs. quadratic Bezier splines and similar items of interest to a very small group.
