AFAIK, so far only the Kindle Fire can handle KF8 mobi files with embedded fonts. This is what the Amazon KF8 FAQ says:

Q: Will KF8 capabilities be available on all Kindle devices?
A: Kindle Fire is the first Kindle device to support KF8 - in the coming months we will roll out KF8 to our latest generation Kindle e-ink devices as well as our free Kindle reading apps.
I.e., most likely only the K4s and maybe the K3s might get a KF8 update, but since Kindle 2s haven't been updated in ages, you're out of luck.
(The latest version of Kindlegen generates a hybrid .mobi file that can be read on older devices, too.)
