Then go to Manage Kindle in the dropdown menu of calibre's plugin.

If it doesn't like the filenames of your fonts (it didn't like the filenames of mine even though they were all the same set), change them to what it wants, then go into the manage and click "enable user fonts" and select the fonts of your choice.

Eject your Kindle, unplug it, then select "settings" on your unplugged kindle, and then select "restart" for the configuration to "take". When it comes back up the font you chose should be selectable for an open book.

Hope this helps.
I don't own a kindle though. I have a Sony 505.

Also, the book in question had a specific font set, that overrode my chosen font. I use a serifed font and it insisted on only using a sans serif font in the CSS. That is something adding new fonts won't fix.
