The fonts built into the Kobo display correctly. Is there something I need to change in the name of the fonts? So far this is my only issue, and the problem is probably self-inflicted.
It could be a font filenaming problem but as you haven't given any details it's hard to say

However, it's just as likely that it is a problem with one of the internal metrics (Panose weight) of Constantia. This same problem has arisen before with Amazon's Ember and Bookerley fonts.

I did a step-by-step on how to fix this kind of problem. I used Ember as the example but you can fix Constantia in the same way if you have the time and inclination. The original thread is here, posts #2 and #9.

Someone also consolidated the details to the Wiki if you prefer to read it there.

ETA: It's also a good idea to do a full Power off/on after sideloading fonts.
