Noticed it too. Kindle font Only Bold and Bold Italic.
Have you tried these files? They work fine on my Kobo Glo. Including TypeGenius (if the firmware is properly patched) if TTF flavour is used.

These fonts are not based on the Kindle fonts as they had quite a few errors. Fixing (renaming the font name and style internally) didn't really work. Instead of investigating what caused these issues I chose to generate the font myself using the font supplied with Windows and made all fonts a little bolder (+9) to mimic the Kindle fonts which were a bit bolder.
Generating the fonts (ttf and otf) gave some error messages. The Windows had only 'kerning' issues. The Kindle font had kerning and language issues. Note I didn't fix the kerning errors.
