A bit kludgy, but it works.

Yeah, LOL. I buy the huge books from DelphiClassics.com. I could buy Kindle versions, but I don't want to; I prefer EPUB.
Calibre cannot convert them to AZW3; somehting needs to be done to create "multiple indices", and Calibre does not yet know how. However, it *can* convert the books from EPUB to EPUB, and I've found that KindleGen can convert them to a MOBI/KF8 combination format. KindleUnpack (the script) can split that up to AZW3.
So, after fixing the metadata, I do an EPUB->EPUB conversion to embed the fonts, save the book to disk, and then use KindleGen and KindleUnpack to create the AZW3's.
Kludgy... but it works. And the AZW3's display fine. I keep my original files safe; what happens to the files during conversion for my current reader doesn't matter a thing to me as long as they display fine after the conversion.
