A couple are not trying to help me, they are trying - entirely pointlessly, it's a very minor problem - to deflect the blame from the Kobo to somewhere else.
In fact, they are just wasting my time, their time, and anyone else who is daft enough to read all this drivel because they are missing one VITALLY important point.
The font files worked correctly whilst I read two books. They then stopped working. At this point they no longer worked on the two books for which they previous had worked.
Anybody with a reasonable grasp of computer diagnostics would make the following inferences:
1) The font files are not formatted in a way in which the Kobo cannot use them because it did, indeed, use them to render two books.
2) It is not some odd interaction between the book and the font file because when the Kobo fails to use the font it fails on the two books which previously rendered correctly.
In fact, my guess is that the problem is not related to fonts per se, but to something else that has gone awry within my device.

I certainly have no claim to any expertise on how any of the stuff inside a reader works, but I can assure you from experience that making internal font names agree to a certain pattern (do a forum search for that, I'm not going to do that for you) can fix their behaviour on Kobo readers. No idea why, but it does. Though it probably won't fix what has been happening on your device, which is unique, as far as anybody here knows (and you have been told a dozen times.) This has nothing to do with folks being fanboys here. It's just a plain fact.

Except that:

Sorry to repeat myself but this point has been made repeatedly and either people haven't bothered to read it or they are unable to make the logical inferences appropriate.
