Embedded font problem

Recently I downloaded an epub book and found a myriad of fonts in the various classes in the stylesheet. Normally I deal with this by changing them to "Arial" (my favorite obviously!) and that solves it.

For this book I had to change seven fonts, which were all that were showing in the twenty-nine categories. BUT, on going back to book view, nothing else had changed at all (in the twenty-two classes without specific font families being listed)!!. In the past I have looked for (and usually found....) 'inherit' which has been clogging things up but there was no sign of 'inherit' here.

I even tried (after changing the seven fonts) using Calibre to convert epub to epub: that too has worked in the past. This time - no joy!!

My only workaround has been to manually enter ' font-family: "Arial"; ' in EACH of the twentynine classes . . . .

Any ideas where the embedded fonts might be hiding?? I think I've looked everywhere.
