It has to be font-family with a hyphen in the middle. Not "font family" with no hyphen. That shouldn't do anything at all.
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.
