I suppose its repairable with Sigil or Calibre, however i also surmise it's a tedious job. Postponed job (-:
I've been using the Modify Epub plugin for Calibre to remove embedded fonts along with some other clean up such as those ebooks that are filled with empty <span></span> pair.

On a somewhat related note, I've been using JSWolf's modified Charis SIL since a good chunk of the modification was making the normal font heavier (not quite demi-bold but close) which I find easier to read under most lighting. As usual that is a personal choice so feel free to differ.
