Unhappy iBooks in iOS 16 no longer displaying original fonts


Hi, I've been editing books for my iPad Airs in Calibre for several years now. Up until iOS 16, if I included com.apple.ibooks.display-options.xml and embedded fonts, I could set the preferred fonts I wanted for body and headings in my Calibre file, export the epub, and then set the font to "Original" in iBooks and everything would display accurately.

However, since the latest iOS/iPadOS 16 updates, the font in "original" now displays as Times New Roman. No matter what I do, I can't get my ebooks/ePub files to display properly/in their installed fonts.

I checked the books on another iPad running iPadOS 15.6 and they displayed properly, it's just the new OS that is the issue.

Does anybody know of a fix/way around it? Is there a new version of that xml file that's needed for the new OS? I have read several websites and forums, but haven't been able to find a solution. Any help appreciated.
