For a complete run-down of this problem, see my web page:
http://w1.184.telia.com/~u18407300/fonts/unavailable.html

If FM's suggestion for substitution is OK by you, or you know the
font isn't really used anywhere, turn OFF the File > Preference
"Remember Missing Font Names", reopen and resave the documents.

If not, turn ON the preference and then search the document.
However, fonts can lurk in the most peculiar places.
If you *really* need to find them and check them, you may have
to save the document to MIF and search the MIF files.

Another approach is to "simply" install the fonts FM is asking
for, and get rid of the messages that way :-)
