This is correct, it is a font problem. I should have read the error message
more closel but I saw what seemd to be a new system and lah, de, dah, de,

Most likely, though, the fault lies with the X Font Server.
Change to directory /etc/rc.d/init.d and run:

./xfs start

Make note of any error messages.
