That's common. Some readers/apps only override the body font and some override everything. Some apps never allow publisher fonts. Kindle you have to select Publisher.
On Kobo eink the behaviour is different for epub and kepub (or renamed epubs to use that renderer), One of those overrides all fonts with chosen and the other just most or body.

If it's accessibility rather than cosmetic it makes sense to override all, except the OpenDyslexic font has no advantage and may be worse (a graphic design project with no scientific basis) and for accessibility simply making stuff bigger is best.
