Default Illustrator can't use embedded fonts in a PDF/X-1a?

Often I get PDF/X-1a files which (naturally) have embedded fonts. Other more expensive programs are able to make use of these embedded fonts just fine so I'm a little surprised when Illustrator keeps complaining that the fonts aren't installed. Am I missing a setting or can Illustrator just not use them?

I guess a workaround would be to convert the text to outlines but that's not always an option.
