These lines from your conversion log give the clue to your image size problem. If you're going to be reading epubs on a hi-res phone/tablet you'd be better changing your calibre conversion default Output profile to 'Tablet' so that no image scaling is done. For a book which already has conversion settings it's under
Convert - PageSetup - Output profile - Tablet. To set for future new books it's
Prefs - Common Options - PageSetup - Output profile - Tablet
As for setting a specific font-family in an Android app ... this can be a can of worms as apps have varying abilities to set fonts. If it's a decent epub app, one method which
should work is if you fully embed the necessary font files inside every epub and add the relevant @font-face commands to your css which point to the precise location of the ttf/otf font files. Calibre has an embed font feature on the
Convert - Look&Feel page to facilitate this. I don't use it myself so you'll need to experiment. I don't know of any android app which understands css like
font-family: Arial unless you have embedded the Arial ttfs and included the necessary @font-faces.
If you don't want to embed fonts (and I certainly don't), some apps (e.g. Mantano, Moon+, Coolreader) let you copy your font files to the android device itself (just the once) and have settings to let you choose which one you want. In this case you don't need to worry about the @font-faces and, as a general rule, I'd also suggest removing
font-family: statements from your css - although generic settings like
font-family: sans-serif may be OK.
