The "hide" button already makes the message essentially a popup, but
one that you can ignore if you want.  Making it an alert or real popup
would REQUIRE user interaction (whereas you can simply ignore the
message as it currently stands), and I assure you that having to
respond to an alert would certainly fall into the "annoying" category.

I have mentioned the page where the methods for changing this are
documented.  The Sage folks are welcome to use any of them to alter
the way the message is handled.

Normally, jsMath uses a browser cookie to determine if you have seen
the font warning message before and doesn't issue it a second time for
you.  Unfortunately, files loaded from the local disk (as opposed to a
remote server) do not support cookies (which are tied to server
domains, and local files don't really have any), so you will see the
message every time you view the notebook.  Since sage lets you save
changes to the notebook (I assume), there may be a way for it to save
the fact that you have already seen the message as well (e.g., like
including the font-warning-disabling code in the saved version, but
not an original blank notebook or something, at least when saving to a
local file).  That might help some users.
