I vaguely remember that fonts can also be stored in graphic files-in certain
graphic file formats. If you have graphic files in your book, that might be
a clue..
I encountered the same problem years earlier before but can't recall how I
resolved it. I only remember frustration at looking
They can be in EPS graphics, for one. Not sure if an embedded PDF would
trigger the problem, since theoretically the PDF would either have the
fonts embedded in itself, or make an on-the-fly substitution.

Isabelle,
The unavailable fonts message can be triggered by a font assigned to a tag
you don't use. In that case, it's annoying, but not a problem. If you have
already checked all the tags on the body pages and in the tag catalogs,
display the master and reference pages and look there.
