If you have it at hand, you could try it with FrameMaker 8, which
supports more virtual fonts (FontSubstitutes) than FrameMaker 9.

Another option would be to create a PDF. From a PDF you can simply
copy & paste the text, because it has the correct encoding in the PDF
if created with FontSubstitutes.
