Forgot to say... I've asked him to test with that font...

Japanese novels are usually printed in the text top-to-bottom, right-to-left format. I am not sure the Kobo can support that.
However, dialectal marks for Italian shouldn't be a problem. |
Buying the Sony PRS-650 (as I wanted to do), in Italy, does not support Japanese fonts at all (personally tested in a shop) and changing font is completely undocumented and unsupported (even if possible). Buying it in Japan will probably do not support Italian marks... even if this should be a minor problem, since it's only a single letter against a complete word or book!
