Question Viewer Fonts

On some epubs I can change the the Fonts in the viewer and the change takes effect. On other epubs a change to font in viewer has no effect - the font remains as Times Roman.

What do I need to do to the ones that I can't change font in viewer

The epubs were created from ODT and DOCX conversions - but that's not the common factor, some 'problem' epubs came from ODT's others from DOCX's and visa versa - its something I have/haven't done.

Added : The difference is that 'problem' books have this in stylesheet.css

Code:
.calibre {
    color: black;
    display: block;
    font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;
    font-size: 1em;
    padding-left: 0;
    padding-right: 0;
    margin: 0 5pt
    }
Whilst the 'good' books have this

Code:
.calibre {
    display: block;
    font-size: 1em;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    margin-left: 5pt;
    margin-right: 5pt;
    margin-top: 0;
    padding-left: 0;
    padding-right: 0
    }
I just reconverted a 'book' that didn't have the Times Roman font in its stylesheet, now it does

I discovered Conversion->Look and Feel->Filter Style Information->Select what style information you want completely removed->Fonts - ticked it - that fixed it

But can't recall ever having ticked before, in fact I don't even think I ever looked in the Filter Style Information tab.

Looks like I'm up for a mass re conversion - is there a 'quicker' way?

BR
