3. when the kobo, or whatever, says you now have a font called bookerly - it shoudl be getting that name from metadata, not from a file name ?

I use TransType for easy editing. But I also have Glyphs Mini. But you could use open-source FontForge too.
And yes, font names shouldn't matter at all in a proper software. I just gave some random names to the font files of the Bookerly I optimized for my Glo; I edited them with Glyphs and FontForge myself, so I know that metadata is correctly set.
It appears Kobo's software for recognizing type isn't that good. It checks both filenames and metadata. With random names and proper metadata, typeface family is recognized correctly but the styles are all messed up. Random even, I believe. With proper filenames and wrong metadata what you get is already written here so I didn't test it.
Therefore for Kobo, we must both have metadata and filenames correct.
