If a person prepares a document in e.g. OpenOffice with a font that Windows or MacOS don't have (like Liberation Serif or Noto Serif) and saves it as a .doc/.docx, and opens it in MS Word, doesn't it default to Calibri as the font? (Or Aptos since 2023)

IIUC, if you open an OpenOffice .doc/.docx in Word, Word replaces unknown fonts with its default font when you save it?
