To be honest, while I'm no expert, I'm leaning towards the conclusion that Qt is the main issue with font problems. Qt + non-system fonts = pain.
Some here may remember last year I created a script to modify font files for our Kobos. Over the summer, I worked at slapping a GUI on top, and after a while after playing with wxPython and Tkinter, I settled on learning the basics of PyQt.
Well, I have a mostly working GUI, however there is one problem...
I wanted to be able to offer a preview of what the font changes look like, however I still have not managed to get it working. To put it simply, Qt font handling is downright weird, especially once you start adding the various styles for one font.
I bring this up, because I'm pretty sure that Nickel uses Qt (please correct me if I'm wrong!), and I would in no way be surprised if ACCESS also uses Qt (on the Kobo at least - I assume the underlying engine is not tied to any specific UI toolkit)
