Does anybody know how to embed fonts in the output from Bookcreator?

I'm creating a book that requires a number of non-standard characters with accents from several different languages. The output (I've created epub and LRF) doesn't use the fonts that I used in the Word document.

The HTML output seems to have all the correct accented letters, but when it is converted to the other formats some (not all) of the accented characters are not displayed correctly, so I imagine something needs to be added during the conversion from HTML to EPUB/LRF.

I know it's possible to change the device fonts, but I don't want to do that.
I've also tried zipping the HTML and adding it to Calibre and then converting that to EPUB/LRF with no change in the output results.

Any ideas?
