This just means that adding a font makes more baggage for the doc. I
wouldn't be the least concerned.

I cannot imagine any font having fewer characters than are represented
on a keyboard. This must have to do with the "extra" characters like
symbols, etc. After editing, examine the doc, paying particular
attention to any areas containing things like copyrights, and
scientific or mathematical notation. I would bet a quarter that you'll
be fine, but if those ares are fouled up, just change fonts for those
spots.
