I appreciate you trying to help me, but I'm afraid it's simply not working.

I used the demo docx file, and downloaded it onto my Windows 7 PC here. In order to save time - and in case I needed to make a screencast, if needed, to show my issue - I fired up a virtual Linux machine here on this Win7 PC. I transferred the demo docx file that you linked to and opened it in calibre on my Debian virtual machine. From there, I just converted it to epub and left all default options as they were, I didn't modify anything. Simple docx to epub via calibre on Debian.

I then opened the epub in calibre and made a screencast of what it looks like. Please tell me if this looks correct. I think the fonts and dropcaps don't quite match what the docx file contains, although much of the formatting looks ok.

Could it be that LibreOffice is not 'truly' embedding the fonts correctly, maybe? Though that wouldn't come into play with the demo docx file (that has me stumped), but I'm just trying to brainstorm what I could be missing.

Sorry. Thanks for all your help, much appreciated!
