There's a list of font names hard-coded in the firmware that are treated specially:

Amasis
Avenir Next Medium
Caecilia
Delima
Felbridge
Georgia
Gill Sans
Kobo Nickel
Malabar
Rockwell
Times New Roman

TTF fonts with those names can use the advanced font menu for adjusting weight/sharpness (no patch required), even if they are sideloaded.

But which fonts are loaded at boot time might depend on the UI langage selected, perhaps Georgia and Avenir for English, Gothic for Japanese. I don't know how that is done though. It doesn't seem to matter where the fonts are located, just what their names are.
