This should be all over the 'net, because it's a FAQ, but:

If you don't care about the fonts, under FM Preferences, turn off
"Remember Missing Fonts," open all the files, and save all the files.
Update and save again.

If you do care about the fonts, look on the master and reference pages
for objects that may contain the missing font. Don't overlook fonts
used in graphics. If that doesn't help, save the file(s) as MIF and
open each one with an ASCII editor. Search for the text string that
describes the font and replace it with a known-good font. Be very
careful not to modify  anything else in the file.
