Western Pagemaker is all but obsolete and can not handle multibyte fonts. It can only see the first 256 characters. So if you are using characters from the extended set of an Opentype font, PM can not address them.
The workarounds are:
1. Create the page you require in Word or other app that supports Opentype fonts. Print the page, scan it as a TIFF image and place it into PM. You could use a PDF but it will only print correctly to postscript printer or another PDF.
2. Find a Truetype or Type1 font which has the characters you require. They will have only 256 charactgers.
3. Find a font mapping utility and create your own font from the Opentype which has the characters you require located within the first 256 characters.
4. Download a fully functional 30 day tryout copy of InDesign which has full opentype support from Adobe which could get you out of your crisis.
The long term answer is to permanently move to InDesign.
