You should be able to import and convert books in KFX format as long as they are downloaded with K4PC version 1.26 or earlier and the latest DeDRM tools and KFX Input plugin are used. Make sure you remove and re-download books that may have been downloaded using a later version before import into calibre.

If DRM is not being removed you will need to ask for help at Apprentice Alf's Blog or Apprentice Harper's GitHub.

I haven't noticed any cases of AZW3 format being missing fonts that were included in KFX. If you have an example I would be interested in finding out more.

You are usually better off using AZW3 format as a source for conversion. The contents are closer to the original format provided to Amazon by the publisher when compared with KFX.
