I don't think there is anything that can be done about that, because "Publisher Default" is not a font. The `Freedom to advanced fonts control` enables the advanced menu button next to Publisher Default, but that is not intentional, it is just that I don't know any way to prevent it.

Edit: Note that unless the publisher has embedded a font in the book, the default will be Georgia and you can just switch to Georgia from the font menu and change the weight/sharpness from there.

-epub line justification also seems to have no effects across several epubs with and w/o Publisher Default font
There is nothing that can be done about that by patching either, it is the way the CSS cascading works in the ePub reader that the publisher always has the last say. The publisher can choose to use the default justification or to force their own choice to be used. If the publisher has chosen to force a particular justification then the only way to fix it is to edit the book and change or remove the appropriate text-align styles.

Edit: Actually I could make a patch that would force the justification for the whole book, but it would be a nuclear option and would force everything to be justified the same way (left or full justification) including images, headings, etc. and you wouldn't be able to turn it off except by removing the patch. I don't know if anyone would be interested in using that?

The KePub reader is different, it can override any publisher style, but that can be just as much of a problem because it overrides styles that it shouldn't such as centred headings etc. With KePubs too, for some things the only way to get a perfect result is to edit the book and fix the various publisher mistakes.
