I tried both with mobi and Amazon books
Old mobi files *.mobi or sometimes in *.azw container won't work for custom fonts. Only kf8 (*.azw3) or kfx (*.kfx) work with custom fonts. Make sure you have 5.9.6 show as FW and try restarting your Kindle again.

Edit: Attached are 2 pictures that show how it should look like. This is an sideloaded KF8 (*.azw3) file on my Oasis 2. Please ignore the huge font size (12) since I use a custom font ramp. You see the Aa menu and then the arrow opened with all custom fonts.
