FrameMaker has its own 8-bit character set, where a number of character
positions are reserved (or locked) for internal use. If a font uses
these positions, those characters will be lost or replaced.

At this moment, I don't have a complete and accurate list, but you
can get some information by looking in the online manual "FrameMaker
Character Sets" (available in the Help menu in FM 5.5.6, buried in
the installation in FM6, and seriously flawed in FM6 unless you have
downloaded a new version from Adobe's website; see http://go.to/framers).

The "ANSI no." not listed there may be reserved and unusable, even
though not everyone of them actually are (as reported by others).

I hope this helps to get you started.
