As usual, upgrade calibre to the latest version. Now it is v0.9.4.
Major new feature:
Conversion: Add an option to embed a font family into the book. [0.9.4]

The embedded font is used as the base font for all text that does not specify its own font family in the input document. Works only with output formats that support font embedding, principally EPUB/AZW3. Option is found under Look & Feel in the conversion dialog. You can ensure that the font is used for all text, regardless of the input document’s styles by filtering out font family styles via the Filter Style Information option in the Conversion dialog.
