To understand the 'restricted font' issue, see: http://word.tips.net/T000072_Read-On...ded_Fonts.html
Essentially, the problem appears to be that some one has embedded a font into a document, and Word now recognises that the font is of a kind for which the license does not allow that. Provided the font is only the system, un-embedding it should be OK; otherwise you're stuck with the read-only condition or not using the font. If you unembed such a font and it's one that you believe should be available, that suggests the font hasn't been installed or there has been an installation issue with that font.

A simple macro like the following might halp you find any troublesome fonts in the active document:
Code:
Sub TestFonts()
With Dialogs(wdDialogFontSubstitution)
  MsgBox .UnavailableFont, , .SubstituteFont
End With
End Sub
