Someone who understands all this technical font innards stuff may be able to correct it but unfortunately I wouldn't know where to start. If Kobo paid a license fee for these maybe they should ask for a discount until they get their missing Regular tables back
I hope they get it sorted in a future firmware. I like Rakuten Serif, but miss ligatures.
