I had some long-running computations, so could not reboot. In the
meantime these have finished, and a reboot fixed the problem. (A
mismatch between kernel module and nvidia driver versions?)

Title:
firefox on ubuntu 14.04 does not play mp4
Upgraded to trusty and started getting precisely the same three error messages.
After apt-get purge fonts-khmeros-core the errors went away.
After apt-get install fonts-khmeros-core the errors did not come back.
