That's much more difficult; you either have to change each format
individually, or make the orginal fonts "unavailable" to the system
so that FrameMaker will substitute them with the fonts you like.
The latter is achieved by editing the maker.ini file, but it's not
a very easy solution in general. Another option is to save the files
to MIF and then search-and-replace the font names in the MIF files.

If you only have a few files and not too many formats, I think making
the changes manually for each format will take the least amount of
time. If this is something you need to do on a regular basis or with
many files, it might pay off to try the other methods.
