Then do not specify any font at all, just generic "serif" and "sans-serif". There's no portable way of referring to device fonts. What you are doing may work in your current iBooks (I guess) version, but it may even break in some other version/reader. (And, after all, you see it's not working in your reader now
)
About the italic/slanted issue, what Toxaris says. We need to see exactly the HTML and CSS code. It might be as simple as some stray font-family property being inherited, or it could be an iBooks bug.
