From an R4 server it means your font path has an invalid element. The "ResourceID" value gives the index into the font path of the bad element. In this cae it's zero, indicating /usr/lib/fonts. This usually means that the directory is missing both fonts.dir and fonts.alias, or that one of those files is badly formatted.
