I did try docx, yes. When I saved the book in LibreOffice as docx, fonts were indeed embedded. However, when calibre converted it to epub, even with fonts-embedded options enabled, all of the fonts did not carry over. Two fonts did, out of 5 or so total that were used in the docx.

The docx - to - epub did display all fonts correctly however on the SOURCE machine (i.e. the computer that was used to write the book and it had all fonts installed in the first place), which was very nice.

But no, calibre is not embedding all fonts from docx to epub from my experience. At least none of my Linux machines were able to view fonts "embedded" by this process. I don't have access to a Windows computer that isn't the one with all the fonts installed on it.

Have a good weekend!
