Well, JSWolf, I have downloaded and tested the font you suggested. Unfortunately the problem remains.
When I chose to change the font to the new font you suggested, in the "advanced" font menu on the Kobo, the font appears as having a large "weight" but when I reduce this on the menu and return to the book, the "bold" type remains unchanged.
Other ebooks on my Kobo do not have this problem, only a few.

My layman's impression is that these problematic ebooks have been formatted with a specific font included which appears as "bold" and I would like to remove this formatting using Calibre but I don't know how to do that.
Install the Modify ePub plugin and then use that to remove the embedded fonts. Then you can load these newly modified eBooks to your Kobo and see how your choice of fonts work from there.
