Did those 2 font files get auto-downloaded to your Kobo when you opened your kepub?
I don't know the rules for how the device detects the presence of Bengali/Hindi. It may be HTML markup such as xml:lang="hi" or xml:lang="bn" or it may just be the presence of certain unicode characters.

No fonts were downloaded, as far as I can tell. Bengali as a fallback font for devanagari would be as much use as Chinese. And it's interesting that the Web Reader online looks exactly the same as the display on my Sage, despite the preview (presumably hosted on the same server) looking fine. And while everything I know about ebook HTML could fit in a gnat's navel, the fact that the de-DRM'd version displays correctly suggests the issue is not with the coding of the book itself
