You should not set a font family any place else, except where you want to use a font that you have included in the book for certain specific text. Regular paragraphs in the book should not have a font family set.
Why can't you use an embedded font for the main text in the book? If the Kindle is not jailbroken and you want to use a different font, you have to embedded such. The thing I've seen in a number of books when when font-family is put in hat should not be there like "font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;" Neither of those two fonts are actually embedded.
