Font Access in Panorama Lost in Bootable Image

QNA--
Don't hate me because I'm converting from 10.3 to 10.4 when most of
you are a step ahead.
However, in attempting to go from 10.3 to 10.4 I made a bootable copy
of my laptop's hard-drive on a firewire hard-drive partition\. My
tech friend recommended doing an erase & install. He said to check
the mirror version doing some daily operations to make sure it was
identical.
Everything I found was fine except ONE thing. When I opened a db in
Panorama, it gave me the dialog that certain fonts couldn't be found
(ironically a message I'd re-written for Panorama to stress that all
forms would be drastically altered if the db were saved in this
state). I thought maybe it had found the wrong version of Panorama
to run, and the default setting was for the CLASSIC version, yet it
had opened the correct version. I tried a direct open (dropping on
icon), but same warning.
My tech says something went horribly wrong with my clone, as there
should be no discernable difference between the original and the
clone, and he wants me to run a different cloning program. But
considering everything else looks fine, I wonder.
So my questions are:
1) Is there a viable reason several fonts would not be accessible in
Panorama in an "exact" clone?
2) Would running a different clone program fix this problem?
3) If this is "OK", how do you get the "missing" fonts to be
"accessible"? [I remember this was discussed once, but it was
several years ago.]
