So far, fixing the panose has always solved the kepub problem for me.

I don't think the panose info matters if you're only reading standard epubs. There is a post about it somewhere on the Kobo forum. It was probably at least a year ago.
What panose values are bad and what are good? I've not dived into this and would like to know so I can double check my side loaded fonts. Thanks.
