I appreciate your effort, but you're still answering a different question than the one I ask.

My problem is not (just) with Calibre. If I convert from xhtml to epub with Calibre, the result looks the same as in your screen shots. That was the file I uploaded - to let people have an idea of what I was trying to do. (In other words: The epub you made with Sigil did not solve any problems in the file you started with - because there where no problems in that file.)

This is (some of) the conversions I've tested:

1) xhtml -> (calibre) -> epub: Good result. The font I specified doesn't exist, but that's OK.

2) xhtml -> (kindlegen) -> mobi: Good result. (Kindle DX does not seem to support svg at all, but if that was the only problem I might live with that.)

3) xhtml -> (calibre) -> mobi: Good result - like #1 the font specification is gone, but it's good enough.

4) xhtml -> (kindlegen) -> mobi -> (kindlegen) -> Kindle for iOS: Conversion fails.

5) xhtml -> (calibre) -> mobi -> (kindlegen) -> kindle for iOS: Good result. (That this works, when #4 didn't, is perhaps what baffles me most.)

6) xhtml -> (kindlegen) -> mobi -> (calibre) -> epub: Poor result - the svg graphic becomes a small box in the corner.

7) your sigil epub -> (kindlegen) -> mobi -> (kindlegen) -> Kindle for iOS: Conversion fails, same as #4.

Make your epub with Sigil, and after that, convert it to .mobi with Kindlegen/Kindle Previewer and all will work fine.
I guess if I upload both an epub and a mobi, I should have most people covered with little need for other people to do their own conversion. But the problem with iOS devices worries me.
