I'm using NewDark and FM's have close captioning at the bottom. How do i disable this on fan missions ?

That doesn't work. From what I've read it is incorporated into the patch itself. I don't see a option to disable it.
What Stefan suggested will work. You disable them subtitles by commenting them out with a semicolon in the cfg.
I don't know why but i still have subtitles. Adding ;enable_subtitles in USER.CFG doesn't change anything.
There is a setting editor 'NewDark Graphics Settings.lnk" but I'm getting a ERROR message when i try to change the setting. The setting is stuck "On". Could be because I'm running Wine on Linux. Not sure
2nd edit: I'm also using HDMod which includes this 'NewDark Graphics Settings.lnk". That must be what is blocking the cfg file.

Don’t add the whole line. Find the pre-existing subtitles line and add a semicolon in front of it.
There is nothing in the usercfg file that has anything to do with subtitles. But, i did find a folder that was labelled "subtitles". I deleted the folder and subtitles no longer appear in the current FM. I suppose i would have to delete that folder every time i install a new mission. The HDMod interface is pretty cool. It has 4 different mods for water alone.
I found this annoying as well and did exactly what this thread suggested and it worked perfectly.
Here is the line in user.cfg - ;enable_subtitles
I just added the semicolon.

Maybe your user.cfg has a protected setting (like a read-only setting) that prevents you to make a change... Or there is a 2nd user.cfg in the HDMod folder that is prioritary. I don't know I'm not using the HDMod in Thief 2.
Close captioning AKA subtitles can be enabled in several configuration files. The player can put it into user.cfg, but also into cam_ext.cfg. A mission author can put it into fm.cfg in a mission's zip file, which will only be effective in this particular mission, then.
Settings in user.cfg have the highest priority. Then comes fm.cfg, and after that there is cam_ext.cfg. Whether there are other configuration files in which the line "enable_subtitles" works I cannot say.
In fm.cfg, one can also put the line "enable_subtitles 0" (0 is the number zero here, not the letter "O") to switch off subtitles in just this mission. It will switch off subtitles, unless they are enabled in user.cfg (higher priority).
I have not checked out what happens if one puts the line "enable_subtitles 0" into user.cfg, but it could possibly switch off subtitles in any cases, overriding any setting in cam_ext.cfg or any fm.cfg file.
Unless the player uses ancient Darkloader to play missions, a folder called subtitles in the game's folder will usually contain subtitles for the conversations from the original game, but not additional subtitles for a certain mission. These subtitles are usually installed with Jax64's T2Fix. Most likely, one can erase the subtitles folder to get rid of the original game's subtitles; I did this a while ago and noticed no unusual problems back then.
I had to delete the ;enable subtitles-line entirely from USER.CFG to get rid of them, so that's another way to do it.
