While those 2 fonts may have contained an Asian character set, they also worked for english (which is how I used them -- or at least tried them at one time or another). The two replacement fonts added are called "Kobo Tsukushi Mincho" and "Kobo UD Kakugo". From the names those both sound like they probably have Asian character support and that they are owned likely devoloped or owned by Kobo and thus they aren't paying licensing fees for their use. That combined with the fact that Kobo's parent company is Japanese would suggest aren't dropping support for them.
As to proof, we can only pass along what the Kobo developers have told us and I have no reason to think they are misleading us. And I'll point out that the question was asked and answered by Kobo well before this thread was started, so their answer was not influenced by anything that they may have read here.
