@hidden.platypus: There is no good solution to going from docx to epub and embedding fonts that have non-standard attributes, short of having the docx input plugin look for the font files and create complete CSS rules for them, which is not very robust, since the font files may or may not be present on the system when the docx file is being converted. You should embed the fonts in the docx file before conversion, then you are guaranteed that they wil be present in the epub after conversion.
