I'm afraid there is no way to do it, sorry!

Right, I think you should never specify a font face except
in the case of a language that do not have a official ISO
code defined for it yet (for example we've faced the
problem with Georgian for phpMyChat).
At least you should always use a true and complete font family directive, I
mean for example:
* {font-family: helvetica, arial, geneva, sans-serif;}
where 'sans-serif' is always specified.
