In answer to your original question ("is there any way to suppress the message"), it's not actually an exception, FontReg is displaying a MessageBox.

I edited FontReg.nsh and replaced line 84.

Old:

MessageBox MB_OK "$R2"

New:

DetailPrint "[ERROR] InstallTTFFont"
DetailPrint "[ERROR]     error: $R2"
DetailPrint "[ERROR]     FontFile: ${FontFile}"
DetailPrint "[ERROR]     FontFileName: ${FontFileName}"
DetailPrint "[ERROR]     Index: ${Index}"
