The default font used for the dictionary (pop-up and fullscreen) is the built-in Georgia font. This is unlikely to be suitable for all languages particularly languages which Kobo doesn't claim to support.

If you're using the kobopatch system you can try one of my patches. It's the one called 'Dictionary text font-family/font-size/line-height - beta' (in libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml). It's been around a long time so don't let 'beta' put you off. It will allow you to specify a replacement sideloaded font instead of Georgia for dictionary stuff.

However, finding a font which is going to be suitable for all your dictionary languages may be easier said than done.
