Others have made some useful suggestions for finding the offending font.
But if you're sure the font isn't (and shouldn't be) in your docs,
there's no need for lots of searching or MIF editing. Simply turn off
Remember Missing Font Names (in File > Preferences). Then open each
document (you'll see that unavailable fonts warning again), verify in
the console window that only the font you want to expunge was missing,
and save the document. That will make the font substitution noted in the
console permanent. 

After you've opened and saved all the docs with the unavailable font,
you may want to turn back on the Remember Missing Font Names option,
especially if you exchange docs with others who have different fonts. 

HTH!
