Have you checked that the fonts allow embedding? You have some MS Office fonts in there. Maybe they do not allow it? Right-clicking the font file and Properties might give information.

Yes, the fonts are embedded in the docx file. I checked it in another PC, where these fonts are not installed. Please check the docx yourself.

That's not what I asked. Please check, if the font files allow embedding. Go to your fonts folder, find the files, right-click, properties, examine the data.

I am asking, because LibreOffice displays some of them as substituted.

Well, I guess I was being a bit silly as the fonts really are in there (as can be seen by extracting the .docx as zip). Now I checked on Windows and Andalus can indeed be embedded (it says "Editable").

Earlier I tested on Linux and confirm all the fonts on Linux were substituted.

The embedded fonts in this document has restricted rights and so we reject them and use substitute fonts. And even if we skipped that, most of the fonts are actually empty so they are rather unusable, the rest are subsetted so also unusable. May be we should add an info bar informing the user that the document has embedded fonts but we are not using them, but this would be a separate enhancement.
