Ah, I recognise this one. Your fontserver, which should be listening on port 7100, isn't running. Your next assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to fix that and get it running again. I don't know why a separate server process is needed for handling fonts; I just take it on faith that it's a good idea in context. Once you have it running, uncomment that line and restart X, then you'll have all your fonts available again.
