the errors you see seem to be related the windoe manager... as a test, 
could you try to isntall and run WindowMaker?

I don't think they are the ultimate error, I think you have font issues.

I have thus a couple of question further to what Fred asked you
1) are you running code from GIT or stable releases?
2) is the code compiled by you or are they ready packages?
3) please try to install Helvetica on your system as a font
4) could you try starting Terminal? maye does the terminal work but not 
the UI?

check your global preferences for Fonts... e.g.

defaults read | grep Font
