Not necessarily. The RMFN preference must be turned on in the FM installation
that *opens* the file. The preference doesn't add any information to the
file when it's saved; it controls the behavior when a file is opened.
The preference setting isn't document-specific, it's installation-specific.

So if you're transferring files between Mac and PC, you must make sure
the preference is turned on in each and every FM installation *before*
the file is ever opened.

I have a web page that extensively explains the missing font problem:
