What version of FM? Which fonts are unavailable (listed in the Console window). 

The most likely suspect is a paragraph in the default instance of a table format. For a new file not based on a template you've created, there are probably only two: Format A and Format B. 

Insert an instance of each table format (with a heading, body, and footing row) and check the paragraphs in those. If you find the problem, change the paragraph formats (or redefine them to use the correct font). Then, in the Table Designer dialog box, click Update All. That will update the default for that table format to use the changed paragraph formats. 

HTH!
