You could, normally, use features like

Code:

  font-feature-settings: "tnum" "lnum";
or

Code:
  font-variant-numeric: proportional-nums oldstyle-nums;
  font-feature-settings: "pnum" "onum";
(If possible, don’t use font-feature-settings but the higher-level font-variant-numeric above.)

I also like Charis SIL v7, and it works nicely in my test file:
The problem is that if you use ePub on a Kobo, you cannot use the code you posted to make changes to how the font displays. ePub works and an old version of RMSDK. You would need to read KePub.
