I had this happen just the other day. Washing as MIF didn't help.

I saved as MIF, opened the MIF file in a text editor, and searched for 
the font name (in this case, "Times-Roman"). This turned up one <Ffamily 
`Times-Roman'> tag that did not seem to be wrapping any text. I removed 
the entire tag section, and this fixed the problem.

But there are also cases where an extraneous font specification becomes attached to an non-text object type, such as a frame on a reference page, and the "don't remember" approach apparently ignores these objects. I've had this happen myself, and the only thing that worked to get rid of the bad font specicfication was a "wash via MIF" operation:
