I too have come across ebooks with this problem. If it caused from font tags you can remove them and this will fix the issue most of the time.

You can use Calibre to fix it.

In Search & Replace area of Calibre
<font([^>]+)>
then leave replace box empty.
Then in the second box
</font>
and leave the replace empty.
The first one will get rid of all font tags and the second the closing font tags.

This will work but it can also remove bold and italics if the book is poorly coded, You can always specify which font tag to remove if it's just a a Font Size +1 issue by using the Search and Replace wizard you can view the coding in the book and see what will be removed using the regex above and adjust it accordingly to your book's code.

I wish Calibre automatically fixed this problem. It seems to be happening more and more these days.
