> I'd like to insert fraction fonts into my manuals.

I guess you mean fraction characters, not fonts...
You either have to find a font that contains these special characters
in place of other characters in the code range 0-255, or you have to
create them manually. Basically, you enter the first number superscripted,
the special fraction character (not a slash), and them the second number
subscripted. You may need to change the spread of the characters.
I would create character formats for these and then create variables,
e.g. the variable "1/3" is defined as something like
<Super>1\xda<Sub>3

> Does anyone know how to insert Unicode character sets into Framemaker?

Cannot be done. FM does not yet support Unicode (in a meaningful way).
