This is because your FastCGI process won't start.

My recommendation:

Take a couple of steps back. Take notes along the way, and pay
attention to any warning signs. This isn't something you can do ad hoc
unless you've done it a million times, and even then, you would want
to follow some sort of checklist.

I'm assuming you're in a Linux environment. If that's not the case,
you should switch your hosting provider. I suggest HostMonster. Others
are OK as well.

My Python is whatever I build on the box from the latest sources. If
you can't run gcc, you can't build python. Use the OS provided Python
if necessary, but these are usually ancient so I avoid them. It also
introduces a problem when they upgrade their Python.

I setup a virtualenv where I install everything, including the code
for my site, usually under ~/env/TheSite. Get familiar with virtualenv
since it is nice. I've heard there's a replacement for it, but I don't
use it yet.

I write the script and test it by running it from the command line. If
it doesn't run, I tweak it until it does. It shouldn't throw any
exceptions at all. If it does throw an exception, I'm either missing a
dependency (in your case, "fonts") or something else is broken. It
shouldn't spit our warning messages like you've seen above either.
Resolve those before continuing.

Then I configure the web server to point to the FCGI script I just
wrote. I test that this is starting up by looking at the logs after
hitting the URL. I also use "ps -efwww | grep 'python'" to find my
FastCGI process. If it isn't there, something's broke and the logs
should tell me what.
