First, where do you even find fonts? this thread? How do you change the size of fonts? I posted two pics as an example. I would like to have more words on the page.
Also, what is Kepub? Just the Kobo format for ebooks? Is there a beginner guide somewhere? I can be pretty tech savvy, but manipulating ereaders and ebooks is new to me.

After You created the fonts directory and You filled it with the desired font You should fire off the Kobo and light on it, so the new font can be correctly viewed. I can't understand what do You mean when You say: "but I noticed my fonts are different." Kobo will show all standard fonts and all custom fonts.
In the first post of this thread You can find how to insert custom fonts in Your Kobo (change their file name as reported). There are also some modified fonts to fit better with Kobo (and some are no more available) because many fonts are too thin for a ereader.
The other way to increase the load of a font is to patch Your Kobo so You can set the weight also for custom fonts, there are no statistics but I suspect that it is the most used patch.
In the post #477 of this thread I linked some places where You can download tons of freely usable fonts.
Kepub is exactly what You guess. If You search in the forum there is a comparison between Epub and Kepub.
There is no beginner guide, but We where all beginner when we started (after 2 Years in some things I am still a beginner).
