The error is about "fixed" font which is kind of default in X, for
bitmap fonts.  Just set a suitable alias for it.

On my Debian this alias looks like:
$ find /usr/share/fonts/X11/ -type f|xargs grep "fixed "
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/fonts.alias:fixed        -misc-fixed-medium-r-
semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1

"xlsfonts" lists what fonts you have and "xfontsel -fn <fontname>"
shows what it looks like.
