I understand that mobi does not support embedded fonts, but shouldn't it at least accept the directive to use sans-serif rather than serif, if my CSS directs it to?

My code is fine - all the other formats (EPUB, AZW3) are reading the embedded font without a problem. I'm converting with Calibre from an XHTML file. The CSS looks like this:

font-family: "Overlock", sans-serif;

MOBI, however, appears to ignore the whole thing and defaults to a serif font.

Any help to force a sans-serif font in MOBI would be hugely appreciated.
