I have Hebrew documents (.docx file format) on a PC which I want to read on my Kindle Paperwhite with their original fonts (2 fonts).
(i am not asking if Hebrew works - that's a separate discussion)
I already tried embedding the fonts in Word (pressing file > options > save > embed fonts) before converting it or using Send to Kindle, which didn't work (i.e. it lost it's original fonts during conversion).
Is there a different way to do it?

If you are comfortable making HTML from your Word documents, I was able to print Hebrew text strings to Kindle KF8/Fire (phrases, not whole documents) using HTML with CSS tags.
@font -face {
font-family: 'Hebrew';
src: url('.../Path/HebrewFont.ttf');
}
p.hb {
font-family: 'Hebrew', serif;
}
In your HTML, you need to call the .hb class in your P tag:
<p class="hb">hebrew text</p> <p>non-hebrew text</p>
If all the text is Heb, I suspect that it will work better if you wrap each paragraph in the P with hb class rather than applying it to the body.
I don't know how complex your formatting needs are, but if they are simple, you could get away with Word find/replace paragraph breaks (^p) with
</p>^p<p class="hb">^&
This will wrap every paragraph in your Word doc with the needed HTML tags needed. Export (save as) the file from Word as text, not HTML/Webpage (mind your encoding). From here you need to work in a text editor, not Word You will need a HTML head and foot for the top and bottom of the file.
