Perhaps the Arial font you have is from a different publisher (or a 
different format) than the Arial font the original author used.

This sort of thing drove me bonkers.

Arial/TrueType, Arial/OpenType, Arial/Unicode and ArialMT(PostScript) 
all show up in font lists as "Arial," but FrameMaker may see them as 
different fonts. Also, I've run into conflicts between "Arial" purchased 
directly from Monotype, "Arial" purchased in a bundle from a third-party 
font distributor, and the "Arial" that came with Word.

A suggestion:
Try substituting some alternate font, such as TNR, for Arial across the 
entire book. Then, back-substitute YOUR version of Arial for the 
alternate font.

Hope this helps.
