Read_docx does not respect embedded fonts

[vorpalvorpal]

Problem

Word allows fonts to be embedded in .docx documents, however read_docx does not support this

Reprex

• Create test.docx
• Go to options > save> embed font and then save the document.

x <- officer::read_docx("test.docx")
print(x, target = "test2.docx")

• test2.docx will not have embedded fonts.

On further investigation I think the problem is actually with word/settings.xml so that, although officer includes the embedded fonts, the embedded font setting isn't chosen meaning that the fonts are lost as soon as the document is opened and auto-saved. I have a basic fix that I'll post when I'm back on my main computer next week.

I've just put in a PR with my fix.

read_docx checks to see if there are embedded fonts. If there are, it looks up what the embedded font save settings are and copies these settings using docx_settings.

This is my first pull request, so if I've done something wrong, I apologise.

don't need to apologise :)

But I did try to add this feature in the past without success and your PR did not work for me neither.
