I'm afraid that the answer is yes.

Please carefully read the following --rather long-- answer because I'm 
not allowed to help you more than this 
(http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/support_policy.html).



--> fo2docx argument -styles=/home/sascha/repos/xsl/styles.xfc is 
*completely* *useless* here as the DocBook XSLT styleheets, whether 
stock or modified, have no support whatsoever for our proprietary XSL-FO 
extension for generating named styles.

Please carefully read 
http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/doc/user/user_styles.html

You'll find that there is no magic here, just hard, tedious work. We 
even stress the fact that:

---
Retrofitting named styles support in an existing XSLT stylesheet which 
has been designed to generate XSL-FO for use by Apache FOP, RenderX XEP 
or Antenna House XSL Formatter (or XFC, but without named styles) is 
tedious and error prone. We strongly recommend to avoid doing this.

--> Just having red headings and Arial and Times font families does not 
require you to use MS-Word named styles.

A) Red headings are achieved by modifying attribute-sets such as:

section.title.properties

I mean, simply add:

<xsl:attribute name="color">red</xsl:attribute>

to this attribute-set.

More information: 
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/section.title.properties.html

B) Arial and Times font families are achieved using by passing a "font 
mapping" to fo2docx:

-genericFontFamilies=sans-serif=Arial,monospace=Courier New

--> Note that we have created XMLmind XSL Utility precisely to relief 
our customers from the hassles of invoking xmllint+saxon+fo2docx.

* XMLmind XSL Utility can be used to add <xsl:attribute 
name="color">red</xsl:attribute> to attribute-set 
section.title.properties without having to hand edit any XSLT file.

See 
http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/xslutil/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xslutil.ConversionEditor.html#customizing_xslt

* XMLmind XSL Utility by default passes:

-genericFontFamilies=serif=Times New 
Roman,sans-serif=Arial,monospace=Courier New

to fo2docx.

See "Process" tab in 
http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/xslutil/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xslutil.ConversionEditor.html

* XMLmind XSL Utility can be used as command-line utility. See 
http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/xslutil/doc/help/running.html#command_line

Please consider using XMLmind XSL Utility both to setup your DocBook 5 
document conversion (labeled "db5ToDocx" in XMLmind XSL Utility) and 
then to execute it.
