Thank you for your analysis. It seems that the systematic approach
confirms the conclusion that there is no adequate fallback font for
Calibri - adequate in the sense that it would give roughly similar
appearance and text characteristics.
Among the fonts in the table, the last two are serif fonts (and Cambria
is in the C fonts set), Pristina is a cursive (script) font, and KaiTi
is a monospace font. Candara and Corbel are sans-serif fonts similar to
Calibri, but there is not much point in specifying them as fallback
fonts, since they are in the C fonts set - so most probably, they are
available if and only if Calibri is available.
For Calibri, editable embedding is allowed, but it's rather large -
about 800 kilobytes - and multiply that by 4 if you also need italic,
bold, and bold italic. But is it still feasible?
