It looks like you have followed this documented process at https://sphinx-bootstrap-theme.readthedocs.io/en/latest/README.html#adding-custom-css exactly, so I'm not sure if anything is broken there.
Are you only changing the font family? I have found that it is difficult to get browsers to display an exact font because of browser default settings. This is especially true when viewing local files in a browser instead of viewing pages over http. I suggest you test with a more dramatic change, like turning the body text red or changing the size. If all else fails, there is another option for specifying the .css file in conf.py by using the html_context option.
