res:///fonts/bolditalic/CourierStd-BoldOblique.otf
Not quite. If the internal fontname was CourierStd the correct links would be:

res:///fonts/normal/CourierStd
res:///fonts/bold/CourierStd
res:///fonts/italic/CourierStd
res:///fonts/bolditalic/CourierStd

In addition (based on all previous experiments) the Kobo wouldn't like file-endings of -Oblique.otf and -BoldOblique.otf. Those would need to be changed to -Italic.otf and -BoldItalic.otf respectively.

This is only a guess on my part but, the fact that these paths are so wrong suggests that it is a piece of Adobe code which has never been changed at all from the original, rather than one where a developer has changed it erroneously. Maybe Adobe wanted to charge a lot of money for Kobo to have the rights to distribute CourierStd so it was always a non-starter. It's offered for sale here at $99. That's $99 more than I'd want to pay for it .
