Since upgrading to R2020b on Big Sur, whenever I start MATLAB from the command line (matlab -nodesktop -nosplash), I get the following error messages:
< M A T L A B (R) >

I get the same error messages in the terminal when I use just type matlab as well. When I start MATLAB normally by clicking the application icon, these error messages do not appear in the command window. I did not experience these problems whe using R2020a on Catalina or R2020a on Big Sur.

Hi - I just ran into this issue today as well and I searched google for a fix. Did not find any but I'm able to suppress it via (see below) which solves my immediate annoyance.
/Applications/MATLAB_R2021a.app/bin/matlab -nosplash -nodesktop 2> >(grep -v CoreText)
(i.e. I added the 2> >(grep -v CoreText) to redirect the stderr to grep and filtered out CoreText).
I would appreciate a more robust solution from MW though.

I get the same on a macbook pro running 2021b under Catalina

I had the same issue until just now and it looks like I got lucky with a solution. I had a java-related Matlab crash, and the Crash Reporter suggested this solution, which is to replace the Java JRE that is installed with Matlab with a different version:
I followed this procedure (replaced the MW JRE with the Adoptium JRE 8) for both R2020b and R2021b, and in both cases the font warning no longer appears. I have only tried this on macOS Monterey 12.3.1.
PS - Note that Java version 8 is not the default download at the Adoptium site, you have to select it specifically.

This worked for me under macOS Monterey 12.4 and MATLAB 2021a after installing the macOS JRE package for release jdk8u332-b09 found at https://adoptium.net/temurin/archive?version=8, removing /Applications/MATLAB_R2021a.app/sys/java/jre/maci64/jre, then making a symbolic link from /Applications/MATLAB_R2021a.app/sys/java/jre/maci64/jre to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-8.jre/Contents/Home

I found adding the
-nodisplay
flag to your command fixed it for me (or maybe just surpressed it). So:
matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -nodisplay
I'm running MATLAB R2021a on a Macbook Air M1 with macOS 11.6.
Edit: based on this article, you may be able to get away with just -nodisplay:

Thanks for the suggestion! I tried this and it did indeed suppress the error message, but this works only if I need no display features at all; if I wanted to create figures from the command line, I would not be able to. I did try starting matlab with the -nodisplay option and then ran the plot command, which produced the same error messages but no plot! There seems to be a problem with the way that MATLAB requests fonts from the OS whenever it creates display windows, and using -nodisplay just stops those requests but does not fix the underlying error.

Oh, well that's no good. Sorry for the bad recommendation, I got this "working" today and hadn't tried creating figures yet.
