That .mobi should be a hybrid file that contains Mobi (Mobi7), KF8 (Mobi8)and the ePub source files (you can use the KindleUnpack plugin for Calibre to split it into parts & see). So in theory when someone buys they get either an AZW (old Mobi, no embedded fonts supported) or AZW3/KF8 (with embedded fonts) depending on what their device or app supports.
I don't know if the Cloud Viewer supports KF8 & embedded fonts or not. If it doesn't and it only supports the older format you'll never see your embedded fonts with that viewer no matter what you do. Perhaps someone here knows what formats the Cloud Viewer supports.
EDIT: If this post is still accurate then the Cloud Reader only supports old Mobi (azw/Mobi7)
