an EPUB is a compressed file; among its elements there is a style file with extension .css. The easiest way to modify it is to use Calibre.
Once in Calibre, right-click on the book you are interested in and select "Tweak epub". Now a window pops up with a tab "Explode epub". If you click on it, your computer file manager will show all the files in the epub.
Scroll the list until you find a file with .css extension, right-click on it and open it with your preferred text editor - in that file you remove the "font declaration" I highlighted in my previous message.
Close the editor, close the file manager window and go back to Calibre - now you can also click the tab "rebuild epub". Do that, and that's it, you just have to transfer the book back on your device.
Hope it helps!
Sure this works, but it would be far more convenient to have the reading apks like fbreader or cr3 do this for us
I set my hopes to the developers to tweak their programs, so we don't bhave to tweak our Epubs to get the desired result

@GrayNM and pkbo: Great work so far!!!
