In my experience, you cannot do it without editing MIF (or perhaps make
an FDK client).
For some reason, each table in FM seems to store the "default" paragraph
tags used when the table was created, even though they aren't needed or
used any longer. This is the most common reason for unavailable fonts
that cannot be found by searching the document using FM's search.

I consider this a bug that I have reported a long time ago to Adobe.
Unfortunately, very few support people at Adobe has the FM knowledge
necessary to understand this problem, so it's quite possible that the
problem isn't known within the FM development team.
