Even if a font is included it will only be used if Publisher Font is selected in the Kindle's Aa menu. Also, in the latest Kindle firmware OverrideKindleFonts must be set to true in the file's EXTH metadata in order for the option to display Publisher fonts to appear for a book.
But you still have to take into account the original Mobi format and that will not embed fonts. KF8 is not Mobi.

As for OverrideKindleFonts, how do you make sure it's set to true?
