Mastersoft provided some of FM's conversion filters at one time. The error is in the conversion filter, not FM itself. Apparently the Japanese RTF filter is/was smarter than the standard RTF filter.
I believe around that time, even Word had problems importing Word files because of file-format changes. Glad to hear you've gotten past the problem.
