Adding the following com.apple.ibooks.display-options.xml file:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<display_options>
    <platform name="*">
        <option name="specified-fonts">true</option>
    </platform>
</display_options>

in the META-INF folder appears to fix this problem, so this is probably a curious quirk behavior designed to avoid some problem that the iBooks folks saw with old, broken eBooks.

I would strongly suggest just adding the file. It will save you lots of problems and head scratching.
