The latest beta version of Atlantis will allow you to embed fonts in your epub so they show up properly. This will increase the size of the epub a bit, so choose a font that doesn't have every conceivable character in it (adding the standard Windows OpenType versions of Times in regular, bold and italic would add well over 2MB to your file). Alternatively, tag the text which should be in sans with a font size that will be easy to spot (4pt or something like that), then edit the css and change the font size attributes to font-face:sans-serif;

Atlantis does respect font sizes in the original and converts them to relative measures. 11pt text comes out as 100% (or 1em) and other sizes will be larger or smaller relative to that.
