That makes me sad... at the end of the font-face fall backs I include serif or sans-serif. Will those be honored?

The book is a technical manual for beginners on how to use GIMP (the Gnu Image Manipulation Program). It's not a novel, so I honestly think a large portion of my readers will be reading on their computers. Will the font-face value be honored for kindle apps on desktops?

Does serif or sans-serif have to be the only value for the font-family declaration, or can it be at the end of my list of fallbacks?
