In the past Kobo readers had an embedded monospace font on board which was linked to generic font family monopace.
At some point (don't know from which firmware version, i guess 2.x.x) Kobo made a poor decision to link a dyslectic font to the generic font family monospace. And removed the embedded monospace font completely.
Personally, i think that using a dyslectic font for the generic font family monospace is the wrong way to implement this.
It would have been wiser to link a dyslectic font to the generic font families cursive or fantasy. Those two generic font families are currently not used by Kobo at all. And those two generic font families aren't widely used by publishers.
IMO, a good reader needs a proper serif, sans serif and a monospace font.
