There's an alternative to finding the text using the font and
then deleting/replacing it: temporarily disable or uninstall
the font from your system, turn off the FM preference "Remember
Missing Font Names" (not sure it's available on Mac) and then
reopen the files. You should get messages about "unavailable
fonts". Accept the substitution and save the files. Turn on the
preference when you're done.

The above assumes that you don't have any visible text using
that font, which you really need to replace with something
suitable. Font references exist in places in FM that may be
completely "invisible" to you (such as old default paragraph
settings in tables). Such references do not even show up in an
Index of References for fonts.

But, since you do get entries in your IOR file, it means that
there are text objects using the font. Assuming you created the
IOR file with hypertext links, click on these links to find the
text (using the Mac hypertext click, perhaps Option+click?)

You may still not end up with any text selected on the page.
There are two possible reasons for this:
1. You have anchored frames on the page, which contain text
   objects out of sight, i.e. cropped by the frame.
2. You have empty text lines. They can be placed within anchored
   frames or directly on the page background. You end up with
   these if you select the Text Line tool, click somewhere, but
   do not enter any text.

To find empty text lines, you can try selecting each anchored
frame, then Edit>Select All and see if you can find small
selection squares that do not contain anything. You can also
click on the page background, without selecting anything or
placing the cursor, select Edit>Select All and check for
selected objects that shouldn't be there.
