Switching off the "Show file translation errors" setting has no effect - I still get the pop-up message about fonts. By the way, if I switch this setting off then it stays off for the current FM session but is switched on by default in the next FM session. I don't know if that is relevant.

In Frame 5.5.6 I used the following lines near the front of the <fminstalldir> maker.ini file, in the [Preferences] section:
SuppressFontAlertOnOpen=On
SuppressLangAlertOnOpen=On

In Frame 8 I also put the command in the <fminstalldir> maker.ini but it has no effect.

At your suggestion I just tried putting it in the Documents and Settings \ <userid> \ Application Data \ Adobe \ FrameMaker \ 8.0 \ maker.ini
...but still no effect.

Another aside, but possibly relevant - after editing the Documents and ..... \ maker.ini file, if I save the file as UTF-8 text then on start-up I get prompted to choose an interface (normal FrameMaker or structured) even though this maker.ini file already has an entry:
[Frame]
ProductInterface=FrameMaker
After I choose an interface, this same maker.ini file now has two [Frame] ProductInterface=FrameMaker entries - one at the top of the file and one at the bottom. It's like the file isn't getting read properly.
If I save the edited maker.ini file as ANSI (Windows) text then I don't get prompted to choose an interface. However, the SuppressFontAlertOnOpen=On setting doesn't work regardless of which text format the Docu....\maker.ini file is in.
