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 .
Thanks for the correction.

If you are correct about the code being left over from RMSDK, then it would go to proving that monospace is part of RMSDK and that Kobo just didn't do anything with it.
