Note that if you want to set font-family rather than font-name, you will 
need to change font-encoding:

%%%%
\version "2.19.82"

{
  \override Score.VoltaBracket.font-encoding = #'latin1
  \override Score.VoltaBracket.font-family = #'sans
  \repeat volta 3 { b'1 }
  \alternative { { b'1 } { b'1 } }
}
%%%%
