Open the OPF file in the exploded ePub, (often it's called content.opf), and look for the section starting <manifest>. The elements in this section are supposed to list all the files which make up the publication. Simply delete all elements which reference the Charis fonts. These elements show up as <item href= ... />.

The fonts should not be referenced in the <spine> or <guide> sections but delete their entries if they are.

Note: Readers seem quite tolerant of ePubs where items present in the publication are NOT actually referenced in the manifest, so you may find that there are no references to the fonts - but it's best to check since a well formed ePub is likely to work on more readers than a poorly formed one. (I have known ADE fail to open books where I have created a faulty manifest section).
