Look in the stack script of your Home stack for the startUp handler.
It will look something like this:

on startUp
  -- Requires handler: getHomeInfo,checkForMissingFonts
  -- gets and sets the user's preferences
  getHomeInfo
  checkForMissingFonts -- inform user of missing fonts
  .
  .
  pass startUp -- so others can use it
end startUp

Comment out or remove the line that begins with "checkForMissingFonts".
