No need to convert to do that. The only times I convert ePub to epub are:
1) The source is epub and needs any of the auto styling
2) I've edited the chapter heads to headings and multiple chapters are in one file with no page breaks. Conversion after edit splits files which adds page breaks

I can't see how a conversion or embedding fonts would cause that. That's something broken in the CSS (inherit statements can do strange things). I embed fonts always and can over-ride publisher font on the Libra always unless the CSS is broken.
I understand your view on Win7. I went from XP to Win7 in 2016 and in Jan 2017 rather than win10 I went to Linux Mint with mate desktop. Using NT since 3.5 in 1994 and the old windows that died with Win98/ME since Windows 3.0, though not seriously using Windows till 3.1 came out. CP/M and DOS before that.
1995 NT 3.51
1996 NT 4.0
Skipped Win2K (NT 5.0)
2002 NT 5.1, AKA Windows XP.
Skipped Vista
