The font path error is harmless. It looks like your xinitrc file is 
broken. Have you provided a custom file in ~/.xinitrc? If so, try 
removing it. Your xinitrc file should be written to not complete. Ie. 
the last line should not have an & on the end of it. Once the xinitrc 
script completes, the X server quits normally as you see in the log.
