Is it a cop-out? Probably. But, if they have tested a few fonts and found problems with them, then they can justify it.

I can see how that could be a problem. I found a nice looking free font (forget the name) and I tried to tweak it in a good font editing program and because of the poor way it was designed, some of the letter/characters did not come out properly. But can't Kobo put it in the beta section with a note that it's not guaranteed to work with all fonts?
