When a book file is updated the first time, a copy of all cross-refs
in the files making up the book is stored in the book file, together
with all character tags used in these cross-refs (check the book MIF).
Font specifications may very well be part of this information.

Search for the font name in the MIF and check whether it appears in the
character catalog (in the beginning of the file) or in one of the x-refs
later in the file. You'll get a hint where the problem may be.
If you're sure the problem doesn't appear when you open any of the files 
in the book, you can simply delete the character catalog and the book xrefs
from the MIF file, resave it as binary, and then re-generate the book. 
The book file may contain information no longer used in the chapter files,
and this should clear things up.

More specifically, delete all lines between 
<FontCatalog
and 
> # end of FontCatalog

as well as all lines starting from the first
<BookXRef
and to the last
> # end of BookXRef
