Yes, this should be possible. Customise as you see fit and please report back.

Customise Header back label:
  - Enabled: no
  - Description: |
        Customise in-book button (top left corner) for 'Back to Home', 'Back to My Books' etc
  - FindZlib: "#ReadingMenuView"
  - ReplaceZlibGroup:
      Replacements:
        # 'Back to Home' button un-bolded
        - Find:    "#backLabel #label {\n  font-family: Avenir;\n  font-style: normal;\n  font-weight: bold;"
          Replace: "#backLabel #label {\n  font-family:Avenir;\n  font-style:normal;\n  font-weight:normal;"

@LucyOne, Ripplinger,

I tried everything I could think of to do this by customising existing nickel CSS. I came to the conclusion that the code that handles the right-hand text (page numbers, %, time remaining) must have been moved out of the nickel GUI CSS we normally use for patching. It's somewhere deeper in the firmware code. Wherever Kobo have hidden it, it's now out of my reach ... unless geek1011 has some bright ideas ...

There is a way to make the left/right halves of header/footer match but it's not a kobopatch and you may not wish to go this far.

You can do it by overriding the built-in 'Avenir Next' system font throughout the whole GUI. It requires you to:

• Choose any custom font (4 files regular, italic, bold, bolditalic)
• Use a font editor (e.g. FontForge, TTFEdit) to change the internal fontname from whatever to Avenir Next in all 4 files
• Change the external filenames to Avenir Next.ttf, Avenir Next-Italic.ttf, etc
• Sideload the 4 files to /fonts like any other sideloaded font
• Reboot the Kobo

It's still not a perfect solution because immediately after any full reboot the Kobo will use the built-in 'Avenir Next' rather than your sideloaded version. You need to force the Kobo to load it's sideloaded fonts. There are some tips in post #2 of this thread. Once your sideloaded font has been accessed it will remain available until the next reboot, i.e. it will survive Sleep mode.
