Additionally, what happens if different fonts are specified for individual cells in the Excel document?

LibreOffice dropped support for Type 1/Postscript fonts (see
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.3#General ), so the
answer is a "it depends". If the fonts are truetype or CFF/Type2 or
opentype they should work.

But of course there can always be font-specific bugs or weird custom
encodings that might break stuff/result in different output compared
to Excel, but that would need to be looked into on a case by case
basis.

HTH (hope that helps),
