In fact for publishing all retailers ignore the included epub cover and require a twice as good separate image upload. This is clue

PDFs are only for printing, giant tablets, QHD or better screens, or publishing on paper. Abysmal for conversion or phones orr ereaders.

Thanks for the tip! I agree PDFs are not fun at all for e-readers and especially conversion. Hopefully with the help in this thread I won't have to deal with them again.

Do you have some experience with this? It's not just as simple as pasting the new css into the ebook and you are done. The rest of the ebook - every paragraph, every blockquote, italic, bold etc - also needs to be updated accordingly.
If you have no previous exposure to this, it will be a steep learning curve. But most of us will be happy to answer questions.

0 experience, but I like a challenge. Worst case, I'll give up and use BetterRed's method along with deleting the font references as you suggested.

Thank you everybody for all your help!
