Per the Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines, 1/1/14:
3.6.1 Image Guideline #1:
* Use Supported Input Formats The Kindle platform supports GIF, BMP, JPEG, non-transparent PNG, and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) images.
* When using images for schemas, charts, tables, maps, or anything that includes text, pay special attention to the legibility of the final image.
* Add images to the source using the standard HTML <img> tag.
* Use a resolution of 300 dpi or 300 ppi for all images.
Good to know that SVG is now supported in Amazon. The font family could be inside the SVG itself as part of the text according to the specs.
Code:
<text x="250" y="150" font-family="sans-serif" font-size="55" fill="blue" >
    Hello, out there
  </text>
