Why don't you just copy the font files from Windows to your Fedora system? Then you won't have to change it. Also, why are you copying the content? You could copy the Doc files to Fedora and open them directly in Writer. Save them in ODT format only when you need to edit them.
I did some serious experimenting this past winter. Writer could not adequately handle the word-2010 documents. I even tried first converting the word-2010 documents to word-2016. Writer could not adequately handle those. Either way, I lose roughly half the text, plus some of the formatting other than fonts. It seems the problem is the "frames" in the word documents. There is a LibreOffice bug on this. So I find my wisest option is to convert the files to LibreOffice now, even if it's somewhat manual. And the conversion must be done on the windows box.
Thank-you, Samuel.
