I don't know where you got yours from. I extracted mine myself from a recent Kindle fw upgrade file. They are eink version 1.02 and the internal font name for all four files is Bookerly.

If yours are the same, the filenames loaded to the Kobo would need to be:
Bookerly-Regular.ttf (Bookerly.ttf is also OK I think)
Bookerly-Bold.ttf
Bookerly-Italic.ttf
Bookerly-BoldItalic.ttf
The shorthand filenames used by k9reeder, above, are also supposed to be supported but I've never tried this naming convention for any of my own fonts.

If it isn't a simple filenaming problem then I'd need to see your 4 files. You can't post them here but if you zip them up, store them somewhere online (e.g. Dropbox) and PM me a link I could take a closer look if you want.
Well, in the end I both followed your suggestions and renamed the files as k9reeder suggested:

Bookerly.ttf
Bookerly-b.ttf
Bookerly-i.ttf
Bookerly-z.ttf

Then I powered the Kobo off and back on. Now Bookerly seems to be working fine (the book I'm reading doesn't have lots of italics, so I was only able to look at the italics in the TOC).

In the end, I suspect powering the device off and on was what made it work. Which makes me wonder if doing that after following your advice would have fixed it as well.
