This is exactly why ereaders shouldn't monkey around trying to alter the display parameters so that the users can choose to read everything in Comic Sans with a 5em line height.

You can apparently force the iPad to use fonts properly using the method described here - i.e. you need to add a nonstandard file containing non-standard code in order to get iBooks to respect part of the standard.
