Well guess what, the "Georgia" font I found out later the Microsoft Word does support, is extremely close to Latin-1 and it is acceptable to Kindle. So if you are using Microsoft Word (an application that Kindle recommends you use) just go use the Georgia font - it will do the job for you. The standard font size for your text by the way should be 12 point. Headings can be 14, 16 or 18, but don 't make them bigger than 18 unless necessary.
To actually upload your manuscript file by the way, Kindle wants you to do the following things:

The recommended approach: When you are in Microsoft Word, save your file as "webpage-filtered". This puts your word document in HTML format for the upload and it separates but maintains the linkages to all your images.
By the way, regarding images you are using within your document: Kindle prefers them to be .jpg images and they want you to use the "Insert Picture" tool to place your images into your word document rather than to cut or copy and paste them in. They also want you to "centre" the image on your page between the left and right margins.

If you click on the icon, it will give you an option to add a link from YouTube, Sound Cloud, or any media-hosting site, and Paper will automatically turn these links into the image, song, or video you have chosen.
