I have several compilations that, after conversion, show up on the reader in what appears to be Times New Roman bold (exceedingly ugly, whatever it is) and overrides the Nook's font type selection.
There doesn't seem to be a Calibre conversion tool to remove these definitions. Anyway, I know I can do it manually by editing the CSS file directly, but I just can't believe there isn't already a conversion tool for that <-- that's why I think I must be missing something fundamental.

Code:
Search: \@font-face \{.+\}\s\s\s Replace: (nothing)
The problem with this is: there may be a single
Nice font used for Initial caps or alternate characters.
You just reduced the book to a step above mono-spaced text
