What program/device are you using to view these ePubs?

In most browsers, the generic "serif" font is not "whatever it can find", but rather whatever is set as the default serif font in the Browser preferences. (E.g., under "Edit > Preferences > Content > Fonts & Colors > Advanced" in Firefox.) You can set that as some crazy sans-serif font if you wanted. Otherwise, you understand how things should work. A lot of ePub viewers don't support these parts of CSS as well as they should, however.
Thanks, frabjous! Ok, I did have font-family with a hyphen, sorry about that .

I'm just testing with Calibre and Sigil right now-will try it in some other viewers to see what is up.
