Step one - remove all patches, revert to stock firmware, and only side loaded font is Courier Prime. The files in my /fonts directory on the Kobo are:
Code:
NUC 6163> ls -l fonts
total 376
-rw-r--r-- 1 simon simon 91908 Jan 19  2013 Courier Prime Bold Italic.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 simon simon 91368 Jan 19  2013 Courier Prime Bold.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 simon simon 96196 Jan 19  2013 Courier Prime Italic.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 simon simon 98156 Jan 19  2013 Courier Prime.ttf
Your test epub with this is the attached screen_017.png. This is the "every style appears as bold italic" problem. I've confirmed that with Windows Font Viewer that each of these font files does contain the style that the name says.
The problem is the file names. The different styles have specific names based on the main file. Because they are wrong, the firmware is taking the first font file it can find that starts with "Courier". That just happens to be "Courier Prime Bold Italic.ttf". Then, as it cannot find the the other styles for it, this is used for all styles.

Look at my post and match that. See the font thread in the stickies for more details.

EDIT: Well dang. If I choose Bookerly as my font instead of Publisher Default, then my monospace text reverts to Bookerly as well... Still not there yet.
If you choose a specific, all the fonts specified in the book are overridden. The "Publisher Default" will respect the fonts in the book.
