How to find "Unavailable Fonts"

Hi, all.
I am getting stumped with something I thought would be simple (has been
so in the past).
A contact sent me a book (in FM 7 format) that I am attempting to read
into FM 8 ... to fix a page numbering and contents/index problem.
Whenever I open two of the files in the book, I get an "Unavailable
font" message on the console (saying that ArialMT is not available and
Arial will be used in its place - this is after I tell it to read in the
file and substitue).
So, I do so, and then save the file ... but it happens again on the very
next file open! Of course, I am unable to regen the contents and index
pages since "a font is unavailable".
I saved those two files in MIF format and searched for "FFamily" and
only see the following unique entries for font familes:
<FFamily `Arial'>
<FFamily `AvantGarde'>
<FFamily `Courier'>
<FFamily `Courier New'>
<FFamily `Helvetica'>
<FFamily `Palatino'>
<FFamily `Tahoma'>
<FFamily `Times'>
<FFamily `Times New Roman'>
<FFamily `ZapfDingbats'>
The MIF file does not even have the ArialMT entry to fix permanently!
What am I overlooking and how do I solve this issue?
Thanks,
Z
