It tells you that you should use a generic font family... which you do 
:)
So the problem is elsewhere. See below.

You're including shift-JIS encoded text in your CSS, which should not 
be a problem if your stylesheet was served with a proper character 
encoding declaration.

but because your CSS file is not sent with the proper character 
encoding declaration, the CSS validator cannot read the "font-family" 
line properly. I'm not certain what it reads, but if the CSS validator 
has trouble reading this line, chances are other browsers will have the 
same problem...

How to fix: check the "By the way" section of :

Hope this helps.
