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.

Do you mean mobi or prc? Do you mean for the K8-enabled devices or for the K7? Because K6/7 (the "old" mobi format for Kindle, Kindle2, DX, etc.) does not use CSS nor will it accept any font-face declarations via CSS. You can set a font to Courier monospaced, if you will (using html, not CSS), but that's it. If you are talking about K8, then, yes, you should be able to obtain a sans serif font, but it helps if you embed the actual fonts.
