Unfortunately Kobo does not allow the use of this fonts in dictionaries.
I would like to kindly ask you if a patch for changing the default font in the custom dictionary exists or could be created in order for all the diacritics to show.

I don't know how to do that sorry. I know others have come across similar problems, I but I don't know if they managed to solve it or not.

I am also interested in a custom keyboard patches witch would include the romanian diacritics ă (not ã), â, î, ş, ţ for word search.

That should be easy to do, if you can decide which keys on the ÉÀÇ keypad you want to replace.
Edit: I should ask: do those characters get displayed properly in the book title and author name in the device's library listing? If not, then they probably won't get displayed on the patched keyboard either, but it is fixable if you install the right font. I found when testing with Arabic books that some fonts don't work properly in the device UI even though they worked in the book, while other fonts worked in both the UI and in the book. I think it is a problem with the font itself: many fonts contain errors in their metadata, especially the PANOSE data which the firmware relies on, but they can usually be fixed by editing the font with fontforge. (Even some of the built-in fonts supplied with the firmware contain errors, but they are encrypted and so can't be fixed, so you need to sideload a replacement.)
