I have about 20 fonts on my Kobo ereaders but I actually only use 2 fonts as the main font, a Charis SIL 7 modified version for serif and Andika for sans-serif bits. The remainder are used for those odd glyphs that are not in my main font. Kobo has an supplemental fonts option which allows you to select up to 4 fonts that will be searched for glyphs that are not in the main font when using kepub.epub.

For the most part, I use Code2000 as a supplemental but ugly font but for a couple of books I recently read, I added Noto Naskh Arabic since the author loved adding passages in Arabic—I also edited the code to allow the Arabic to display right to left which the original ebook did not do. For Terry Pratchett's Golem stories, I added an Enochian font since that is what the golems wrote using. It beats embedding multiple fonts.
