Not due to copyright reasons if I read it well.
Our friend (and admin) DR.Drib is fighting with it and have reported something about it.
Read this topic :

It starts to be interesting at post 10,11 and 12 where problems occured with the same fonts.
You're using 18 month old posts as proof? And if you read post #15, you will see that the problem had been reported to Kobo and fixed.

As PeterT and robko have both said, and I stated in the first post of this thread, Kobo told us that there was a change in the licensing provider of the fonts and hence they moved from Gothic and Ryumin to the new fonts. Why they changed, I don't know. But I assume it was because the new provider was cheaper.
