Of course, you have the size set at 600 x 800, so that explains the size of the black rectangle.

So I don't know what the Touch is doing with the embedded font but experience tells me that if I could see the text, it would not be rendered in the embedded font as a kepub. I'm still trying to figure out what's causing the black rectangles for some images but not all images.
One thing I have noticed is that for .kepub, embedded fonts
are ignored (for the document, can't say for svg) unless the
'Document Default' is selected in the ereader's font dialog.
This is not the case for .epub.
It might be worth your while quickly checking...
