Indeed, you can embed fonts into a word document, the ability is in Microsoft Word under something (vaguely) like tools->options->save where you get some options like embedded all fonts, or only the glyphs of fonts used in the document. Currently we do nothing with these (fairly rare) embedded fonts, though if you are a developer you can examine sw/source/filter/ww8/ww8par.cxx SwWW8ImplReader::CoreLoad and search for the comment "experimental embedded ttf dumper" which shows how to enable dumping the embedded font data.
