I have some epubs I couldn't get to use new font-sizes, and eventually figured out the problem last night. These books were specifying various class properties, each with different styles, for <p> and <div> sections. To fix these, I changed the section which was applying the font sizes as follows:

Before:

p { 
 font-size: 70% !important;
 text-align: justify !important;
 margin-left: 0em !important; 
 margin-right: 0em !important; 
 }

After:

p,div,ul,dl,p[class],div[class] { 
 font-size: 70% !important;
 text-align: justify !important;
 margin-left: 0em !important; 
 margin-right: 0em !important; 
 }

It's possible that some epubs may have "id" or "style" properties associated with the <p> or <div> elements. In these cases, adding p[id] or p[style] etc to the list may work, but I haven't needed to try this.

(I added the ul and dl elements as well, as otherwise books such as the Calibre quick start guide weren't completely correct).

One stubborn book I could NOT get using this method, kept showing up in Times New Roman every time. I used the "Tweak Book" feature in Calibre, exploded the book, and did a find and replace on wherever I saw Times New Roman in one of the stylesheets with my preferred font, then rebuilt the book. That ended up working.
