Yes, the text on the left looks like it's still using Georgia.

In order to restore Georgia on newer firmware, you can use the extra files section of kobopatch.yaml. Extract the following files from an old firmware update:

Code:
usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts/georgia.ttf
usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts/georgiab.ttf
usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts/georgiai.ttf
usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts/georgiaz.ttf
Copy them somewhere on your computer, e.g. D:\KoboFont\, then add them to the same location in a newer firmware with kobopatch.yaml:

Code:
## ADDITIONAL FILES ##
# Uncomment the following to add additional files to the tgz (like init scripts or hyphen dicts)
# The files will be root-owned, and world readable, writable, and executable (0777)
files:
  D:\KoboFont\georgia.ttf: usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts/georgia.ttf
  D:\KoboFont\georgiab.ttf: usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts/georgiab.ttf
  D:\KoboFont\georgiai.ttf: usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts/georgiai.ttf
  D:\KoboFont\georgiaz.ttf: usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts/georgiaz.ttf
The output will be a new KoboRoot.tgz file that contains both your usual patches, as well as the Georgia system font. Kobo encrypts the system fonts, which means you can't sideload them, but you can restore them this way.
