Thanks for your help.

For ePub you can indeed embed a font and use that for the text. But not all epub renderers will actually use the font. I see to recall that the Apple iBooks application didn't allow embedded fonts, but that may have changed by now.
For Kindle your only option is to embed the text as an image, if it's required that it be in a special font. The main drawback is that the image won't scale with the text.
It's possible that this limitation will be eliminated with the new KF8 Kindle format, but it's not yet available.
